This is the second time they have had scaffolding up on the west side of the building. It is one of the slowest projects I have seen. (Though 1 King West also has external work happening and it too is covered in scaffolding, something one might have expected to have done BEFORE condo owners moved in.

Agreed, very slow.

All the scaffolding in the above 5 pictures is now gone and the King Street entrance has re-opened. They are now working on the south and west side of the building. Also complete are some renovations inside to the restaurant and front desk area.
