Wow, amazingly thorough! Things are getting serious here. Thanks!

Update:
Toronto's increasingly busy Entertainment District will soon grow even more dense, with forming moving along for the podium levels of Greenland Group's King Blue development. Since our last update on the Page + Steele / IBI Group Architects-designed mixed-use project in late 2016, work on the below-grade levels for the 44 and 48-storey condominium towers wrapped up at the southeast corner of King Street West and Blue Jays Way. Now, the 6-storey podium is taking shape, parts of it behind the retained north and west heritage facades of the 1927-built Canadian Westinghouse Building.
 
Catching up with some shots from Sept 5:

Lots of reflection unfortunately, but here's how King Blue looks from 44 storeys up:

Makes sense why it took so long to get to this level, look at the size of that site!
 
Yesterday late afternoon and evening, from Gläs:

Hmmm. I wonder if they'll take down the bracing now that the building is just beginning to rise above the facade.
 
In other news, this development will really add to the feeling of density in this area. That parking lot has looked pretty sore for as long as I can remember.
 
with a museum, retail, 121 room hotel, and 911 condo units, I certianly hope so. This thing has an FSI of over 17 even with it being a large site like this.
