I don't think it's going all that slowly. If anything, they just finished laying irregular floor plates. So it should speed up any time now.

Nice. This will add a lot of depth to that intersection, especially when looking west down Wellesley.

Really shows you how important the big push for park space was when this was proposed. So much density around here and more to come, yet that's going to be the only open space between Queens Park and Barbara Hall Park.

Also a nice shot of the police building. Gotta say I’ve always liked how hive like it is

One floor to go (the forth floor above the podium) and the process will switch to a step and repeat template so progress should then speed up significantly.
I hope the city does something about the (lack of) width of sidewalks at the western corners of Yonge and Wellesley. It's downright dangerous as it is and only getting worse as more people settle into the area. Though I don't know what can be done without expropriating the buildings.

Has anyone ever noticed that the tower floor plate vaguely resembles a McNugget? (the boot shaped McNugget in particular)

You know, that's just what I want to think of when I consider architecture in Toronto - chicken nuggets.
