I'm surprised anyone doesn't know who the developer is for CB, considering all the hoopla around the Kazakhis.

Considering the answer to that question appears at least three times on the same page of posts...

Maybe I should clarify~
I know that Bazis Internation is the Developer, but who is the actual construction company building CrystalBlu?
For instance, PCL was suppose to be the construction company for 1 Bloor... which company is actually building CrystalBlu?

Is there another example in Toronto, where 2 point towers are this close to each other! Yup, I agree with one of the writers, hope the residents have some sexy neighbors across the other building!

Both project. Uptown will be out of the ground sooner than CyrstaBlu, considering Blu got stated first.
That small gap between both project is a lot larger than claim by a few folks. A few meters is more like it in the foundation level a least from this photo.

Maybe one day in the distant future they will insert an "infill" tower in this gap? If it happens in NYC, it can happen in 2080 Toronto....

Someone on 1BE forum was spreading news that Tucker is not building this and has now been taken over by Bazis themselves... any truth to that?

This has been a Bazis project from the beginning. Bazis is both owner and general contractor. Tucker was shown as "construction manager". Not sure if that is still the case.

Tucker is working on 'X' at Jarvis & Charles. Look at the crane in the above pics and you can see the Bazis flag hanging on it. Normally, the builder would put their name there.

Not necessarily...I've seen the logo of the developer i.e. CONTEXT, TRIDEL, etc. on cranes in the past.

Or the Pemberton flag on the second crane in the very same picture...

There appears to be roughly an equal number of construction workers on each site so work is moving ahead with Blu
