Could be, that said I do not recall ever seeing in Toronto a tower crane installing a climbing frame after the fact without a significant dismantling of crane. It begs the question why wasn't the climbing frame installed when this tower crane was first erected just months ago?

It certainly happens all the time it's really up to the developer themselves. In Kitchener at least Charlie West, 100 Vic Tower 2, and Garment St all had the climbing frame installed once it was required, they were all installed without requiring the dismantling of the crane. Drewlo Tower 2 will need a climbing frame and doesn't have one yet. The only tower crane in recent memory in Kitchener that had a climbing frame installed from the start is 900 King St W.

Less than a decade ago that Toronto Star building was one of the tallest in the area. And in a few years Prestige and the Sugar Wharf towers will be dwarved by much taller towers. If only we had better architecture and more varied colours as well as height …

Love to see the comparison in quality between phase one and two. Huge step up in terms of materials

As stated before (in response to you funny enough), https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threa...-hariri-pontarini.17920/page-395#post-1996275, the climbing section can be installed afterwards without any dismantling.

Rumor has it you can see this in action this weekend.

The climbing section arrives. Shame I'll be out the rest of the day and won't get to watch the whole process. Who doesn't love a bit of crane action on a sunny Saturday morning...

That is not the shame bro. Shame is the grey in the glass.

Heard one of the transports broke down, so it won't be installed today.
