I guess "ground breaking" means something in building sites. When they said construction would start in November and then they appeared to be doing all the shoring etc over the past couple of months, I am hoping this is not when they officially start construction? Could they still finish a 12 story building in 2 years?
Ground breaking ceremonies usually do not happen on the day of the actual ground breaking. The ceremonies have to do with getting all the people together that they want for photo ops, and depending on what they are shooting for, that can take a while. The pandemic would have played into the photo op scheduling here too of course.

Update today from LCH Developments on Facebook:
Here’s a good look at the key construction that’s been going on at Merge Condos. LCH Developments, along with Highstar Building, continues working through a busy summer and fall. 🏗

A bit tough to tell from those smaller images but based on the capture on the bottom right corner it looks like crane base assembly is along the horizon.
 
Excellent, I'm curious to see this one rise and how it turns out. LCH have quite a bit in the works coming up along Kingston Road.

Really looking forward to this project. I hope it's unique exterior does not become victim of The Cheapening™.
