The crane is very prominent now when walking north up Yonge from College on the east side of the street. It's interesting to see how the tower will sit in relation to the other towers in the area

What is a 'weather wall" - I am mystified.

^It's the wooden hoarding that covers the top three or so floors of any skyscraper under construction to protect the workers inside from the outside elements, namely the weather.

So Ramako was either kidding or as mystified as I was.

And here I thought that the permanent weather wall would be the windows.

The first of many highrises in the area, imo--yep, tons of under 20s pos towers could come down for large towers.
Good architecture meets bad in typical Toronto style:
Approaching civilization from the sticks--or the other way around?
Of course the weather was crappy today, but next sunny day I'll get better shots....

From Yonge, south of St. Clair. Four Seasons will totally dominate from this angle.

Jeez, FCP looks like it's been photoshopped.
Interesting to see how much more of an impact this has from the north. You can still barely tell this thing is going up from the south
