A drill was back on yonge street blocking off two lanes today. Although it's no longer the Emerald Park drill since EP have since moved their drill to another lovation.

No one will begrudge you if you serial post with useful information and pictures! Many of the regular snappers don't get up to NYCC much. so any info from the north country is useful, especially with a popular development like the HC.

I do not have access to my own camera that often or a cell phone camera, but I was looking at Tridel's latest picture today, below.

You can see the ramp that is being dismantled at the lower left corner of the site; there is not much left of it now. The small white backhoe at the edge of the picture is the one that they are using to dig it out now. The work is close to the edge of the pit, so the larger yellow backhoe is probably too heavy for the final work.

The trucks come along the street to the left to be loaded.

In the Tridel picture from my last posting, you can see the drill on Yonge Street, the curbs blocking the lane and the line up of traffic at the top of that picture.

See the top part of picture.

Oct 7 2011 Update:

- 4th floor starting to be poured
- last part of ground floor is being poured
- digging on Yonge St.

Digging on Yonge St. I think I remember someone saying these were the ventilation shafts for the subway.
Notice also the construction on the other corner of Yonge St. Formerly Dempsey's corner.

Almost at street level. I think one more floor to go.

Trees starting to change colours. This will be a very nice view next week.

The last section of bare earth. Also, no more dusty balcony!

man o man... Yonge/Sheppard is basically one big war zone! holes in the ground everywhere! Emerald Park, Hullmark Centre, and now that hole on the North-West corner!!!.. not to mention, there's gonna be a new development in the lot north of emerald park.

Does anyone know what is being built on the N/W corner and what is to come on the S/W corner next to Emerald Park?

I believe someone mentioned the N/W corner was to be a new Mc'Donalds. I am not sure if that is confirmed though. For the S/W corner, there is a proposal for an office development - http://urbantoronto.ca/forum/showth...-Sheppard-Yonge-NYCC-25s-KPF)?highlight=yonge

hmmm. how often do sites have night crews?

 

[wang888]

i bet they trying to meet deadlines, maybe for a deal with a big corporation to set up shop in their office space

The guys smoothing the cement have to stay to finish their work. Can't wait until the next day. I've seen this often especially this time of the year when it gets dark early.
