Feel so sorry for the people living in that building that's pretty much right on top of the site. Not only will they have to deal with noise for 3-5 years but they'll have a massive shadow over the building.

True, but that sums up the reality of living in much of downtown these days. Pretty much everyone has to deal with endless construction and views that disappear. On the plus side, if anyone in that building lands a job at the Globe they'll have a great commute!

The owner of the building (who lives there) was surprisingly (to me) positive about the new building at the City's Public Meeting on this project.
 
I guess, but quality of life > $$

Who's to say that this development will decrease his quality of life? It might be a surprise to some, but some people who live downtown actually enjoy seeing development and intensification, even if it goes up right next door to them, myself included.

Have you ever lived on top of a construction site like this one?

I live right next to 88 Scott right now. I can hear them working all the time. Though the sounds of the street and the city itself are much louder.

The excavation on the King Street side seems to be about at its limit and they appeared to be excavating for the "crane pit" (about where the excavator is in the pic above) on Saturday.
 
Crane Installation

Crane Installation has started. It looks like there will be two cranes installed on the site based on the visible concrete foundation pads. The northern crane is partially installed. Will see how quickly they get them in.
 
This morning
