Looking west towards Bay St.

Looking northwest towards the Bay and Scollard St. corner.

Looking north from Yorkville Ave at the east side of the site towards the sales office on Scollard St.

Great rendering and thanks for the photo update. This is moving quickly.

It looks spooky at (last) night:

If Nuit Blanche was organized with construction geeks in mind, I'd like to see a large installation in a construction pit---like for example, a large inflatable "McMansion" floating from the pit.

That sounds like an amazing idea UD. I'd submit it for next year, if I were you...

It's really dawning on me just how many tall towers are going up in Toronto. 5 years from now our skyline is going to look so very different. Amazing.

I was by the site the other day and its quite amazing how large and deep the hole is at this point. They may just be beating Shangrila and may have a crane in the ground sooner, despite having what appears to be a bigger lot size. Now that the RBC/BAC race is nearing its completion, its time for the dueling highrise hotels.

Well behind Ritz and Trump, those two (Shangri-La & 4 Seasons) are racing for spot #3.

Come on, everyone knows Trump is cancelled.

Really? I had heard that Harry Stinson was going to take over all four projects.
