Rumour has it the pile driver is no longer on site. Can anyone confirm?

Indeed, walked by yesterday AM as it was being loaded onto a truck. Looks like that stage is done now excavation should begin.

So I've heard they've started the digging. I guess I'll have to drop by this weekend to check out the progress.

I really don't get why there hasn't been a ton more development like this on Bloor considering the subway's been there for 45 years now...

Drove by the site on Friday. Doesn't seem like they've progressed much deeper in the last 2 weeks.

Looks like they are making the pool

Looking at the April 3 photos and the May 3 photos it doesn't look like very much was done in a month.

The pit was all dried up on Monday.

So, render-rama, anyone?

The whole building from the southwest. Brick podium with precast quoining for floors 1-6, glass and steel and setbacks for floors 7-12. High ground floor retail. Umm, spot on Quadrangle, nicely done.

A detail of the corner at Bloor and Indian. Is that a gelateria in there? I vote 'yes' on this artist's impression. (Go Designstor!)

The Bloor frontage.

So, what's inside? Lobby first.

Let's go up to the amenities level...

and check out the fitness room...

and move outside to the terrace. It seems they've been partying all night, because that is sunrise.

This looks good, looks (almost) downtown-Mozo good! A great addition to that stretch of Bloor West and area.

I haven't checked out the site in a few weeks. Hows the progress? Are they any deeper?

 

[urbandreamer]

Crazy deep now. Expect crane base to come by end of month..

So does back to street level by Halloween seem realistic?
