According to Tricon's IG story, there's a shoring rig now on site:

It's not doing anything quite yet. Parked off to the side of the lot. There's a lot of demolition cleanup still ongoing. Gigantic piles of fill and debris still being sorted and processed, but it's visibly turning into a cleared out site now.

A quiet Sunday. Still lots of debris to be removed from demos.

There were new documents uploaded to the AIC on August 31st, 2022. That was a while ago, but it seems like they never made their way to thread... so I'll bring some of the new and updated renderings forward now. Overall, it still looks very nice, but keen eyes will spot the value engineering that has taken place:

Yes, lots of nice features but it's a rendering so LOTS of time for various 'cheapenings'. One does get quite sceptical if you hang around here too long!

Passed by quickly this morning and I saw the shoring rig was turned on and there were several workers around it.

Tower cladding looks different, like smooth precast panels vs. earlier renderings that showed a nicely textured brick. If that's the case this is a big disappointment, that brick was one of the elements I really liked. Not that I'm surprised or anything.

A quiet but organised Saturday. Graffiti is growing and they haven't removed or painted over any for weeks, even though they could do it with a can of paint in 10 minutes.
I hope I'm not going to have to waste my time with 311 on this.

A lot going around here between this development and the water main replacement on the south side of Richmond.

Another view of the metal framework to support the west wall.

The preliminary design for the Park here is up for public comment:

Basically a solid design............but
The theme is indigenous/native; and an assertion made that native plants were selected; in fact many of the trees are not native to Toronto; and one of the understory plants, False Spirea is actually native to Asia. Sigh.

Site work actively underway at 261 Queen Street East. First, from the east (Ontario Street sidewalk), looking west along the Queen Street frontage.
A couple of views from the north-west corner of the site looking south / south-east.
Also, next door at the 245 Queen Street East site, the former Diamond Taxi building has been covered with hoarding (no photo).

The green steel support structure looks better than most new buildings in this city
