Only the counter weight being removed this afternoon as well the cabling. Nothing was taking place at 11 am when I left, but work was taking place after 2 pm when I came back.

The big sections will becoming down Friday.
 
The Boom was been worked on between 4:15 and 4:30 as I headed back into Toronto. It was gone when I came home. You can see the workers on the boom.
Will get some close up shots when I am over that way on Friday.

thanks Jasonzed ~


these pictures really illustrate that the spandrel glass used for the rooftop mechanical look to be 'off' and doesn't work with the rest of the building, could they have used are darker shade that blends with the rest of the tower?
 
Jan 14-2011:We take a walking tour around the tower to see where construction is at as well taking a look at the removable of the tower crane from Tower D. The shaft was removed around 4 pm with the lower sections to be removed on Sat. The 15T moble crane show up at 10:15 am.

I kind of agree with this, however I will wait until the balcony glass has been completely installed all the way to the top.
 
Wow... take away the condos by the Humber in Toronto in the first shot, and you've got Calgary with the Rockies in the background. (Even though its just clouds)

I'm not sure where comments like these come from - have you been to Calgary ? They have an imensely dense core with quite a few tall buildings.
The only thing somewhat accurate about such a comment is calgary doesn't have too much yet outside of the core (i.e. like NYCC / SCC / MCC ...) or that many condos in the core either.
But from a sky line point of view they're loaded up with office buildings.

Just want to create any annomesity between the west / east :) It's almost as bad as the 416 vs 905.
