sorry, I am out of town. Mike in TO is often updating Murano with pictures which is located right down the street. Hopefully somebody can swing by here soon. They must be close to erecting a crane. Interest and updates are likely to increase once that happens...

From LaPlante Ave looking east towards Bay. They have been doing a lot of digging.

Might I add that, while I have no photographic evidence, I was by tonight and there is no crane, but a pit that is absolutely ginormous, and still growing. Pit-lovers should go gawk; this one puts the Cruptal Blown excavation to shame.

surprising then if its so huge that they had to get approval to provide less parking than official plans call for. (as mentioned in the variances above) The suspense continues to build on this one...

That's an amazing shot there Redroom - is it from the top of the parking garage?
Yup - ditto - fantastic stitch! Quite an impressive hole for this one - every inch of space on the west side of Bay is being used.

yes, from the parking garage on LaPlante... it was hot up on top of that thing yesterday, I almost got heat stroke!
Amazing shot. Makes the hole look a lot bigger than it really is.

It indeed looks amazing. What kind of cam you used? I wonder when they plan to erect a crane?

I used a regular camera (SonyA100) - this image is 4 photos joined together.

This is a difficult site to get a good photo of. Obviously RedRoom has found the perfect perch to take pics from. (Excuse the horrendous grammar)...
It appears they're pretty much ready for the tower crane now...

Yeah, I can imagine it is hard to take photos of this... it's such a tight spot there on Bay St.
