According to the market's website, the site has been used for a market for well over a century. I don't think that patch of land was ever industrialized.

Nice girly on the lunchbox ad. Very provocative.

Looks like I need to find a new parking lot now. I would park there occasionally when I needed to park near our office. That's ok though
I'am all in favour of filling in those above ground parking lots.

Was at the sales centre today and noticed more equipment on site. Mind you, I guess there's only so much that can be done during the winter months.

It's to dig the holes for the piles (caisson drilling) and I think these machines can work all winter (and if the ground is waterlogged actually work better in partly frozen earth.) As the building will not have a basement I think it needs fewer piles than most buildings but presumably it does need foundations reaching bed-rock.

Good to see things underway. May be wishful thinking on my part, but I'm rootin' for an accelerated occupancy.

As far as I know they are still only building (or actually excavating/piling for) Phase 1. Phase 2 is the site just to the south of the picture and it's still a car park. Of they are really going to move on Phase 2 soon I would have thought they would do all the piling at the same time.

I can't tell how far back in the pic the development will be... but Phase 1 is the podium which will be the entire length of the site and Phase 2 is the tower. That's my understanding.

What's going where the parking lot facing the Esplanade is located? A park or another condo?

This is City land and is to be the temporary site of the North St Lawrence Market (starting late 2010 or early 2011). When the new Market is finished, 2013?, the area will become an extension of David Crombie Park.
