The first photo makes me really wonder if those houses will one day be bought up and that piece of land given more density and a retail component that interacts with Burnhamthorpe. There is something about that lifeless fence dividing the sprawling neighbourhood from the stroad against skyscrapers which is so distressing to me. I get.a physical reaction. It seems like a a perfect future shot for one of those heavy coffee table architectural books which display striking contrasts of dystopian or unlikely urban scenes around the world you'd find a museum gift shop or independent bookstore. Y'all know what I'm talking about...

It will be another month or two before the north side of the tower pocks its head above grade based on where the tower pump is. The south side tower will be about another month or two before it at grade.

Until then, we will have to rely on the drome folks for shots of it as it is too far from the street to get any close shots of it
