@agoraflaneur: now someone just has to post photos from yesterday of Ten York from the northeast, and we'll have a nearly complete record of the development's presence amongst Toronto's skyscrapers on February 18, 2017.

I think this will be a popular place to live when it's done, imo

The base is looking quite sharp and thankfully the window wall on the sides is well proportioned.
Probably Tridel's best looking project so far.

^ Aerial shots like those of the traditional cookie-cutter floor plates that make up the bulk of this tower really showcase how small the majority of units are. Of course when finished drywall partitions occupy the spaces, they create the illusion of 'roomness'. Also, those corner suits at the apex of the footprint look like they will be spectacular, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass on 3 sides - and much more usable spaces than something like King West, which has a much narrower profile.

Curious question: What happens with the hole in the floor where the crane structure current pokes through? Does it just get filled in with concrete or is something more complex done to it? For the longest time, I always thought that elevators typically were put into the shaft made by the crane, but here it doesn't seem to be the case as the crane is sitting right inside a suite.
The crane is nearly never put into the elevator shafts: they need the elevators working as soon as possible to move workers and materials up and down. (There's too high a demand on the exterior construction hoists to just use them to move everything into—and everyone around—the building.)
The hole in the floor where the crane does go has rebar sticking out of it, so that when the crane gets boosted up and doesn't need the holes below anymore, they can tie rebar to the bits that stick out, the put a form in underneath, then pour the concrete to seal it up.

When the ramp is removed the west face of the podium will really come alive. It will be an unforgettable statement to all those coming into downtown.

Great photos.
I'm really disappointed they didn't continue the flatiron point from the podium onto the balconies. It would have created an amazing effect plus given these units some of the best balconies in Toronto (can see both North and South). Engineering it would not have been that difficult other than you may have required a pillar at the point.
