It took awhile and now it's finally starting to peek above the old city hall building from Nathan Phillips Square. It's going to be a great addition to the skyline!

Can anyone tell me what floor is under construction currently? Also, how many floors, on the average, is completed in a given month?

Isn't the average for constructing skyscrapers about 4 floors a month?

On this one most likely, we should see this topping off by this time next year

Caught this tidbit in an interview with MOD's Gary Switzer:
Though Toronto has recently caught up to Montreal in the quality of its best restaurants, it still lags far behind in how important a role restaurants play in day-to-day life. Switzer sees the new Yonge scene as a much larger version of what you’ll see any weeknight in Montreal’s Plateau or Mile X. City planners often talk about making public spaces into tower-dwellers’ living rooms.
Switzer is more interested in making restaurants into their kitchens and dining rooms. For his part, he brought Wickson Social into 5 St. Joseph St., and though his other Yonge Street project, Massey Tower, has only reached its 14th floor, he’s got similar hopes for the 1905 CIBC building at its base (he’s already building extra space in the back for Massey Hall).
