Haha, as beautiful as many may think of the engineering going on down there it's very painful to wait and watch for this thing to rise?

So spare yourself and look elsewhere. It's gonna take what it's gonna take.

"For each caisson, 18 truckloads worth of concrete is required."
Well, that explains the longest line of trucks on the longest street in the world.
A summary of the tech specs and materials used to build this building would be something special.

I drove from Kelowna B.C. to Ottawa O.N last year and stayed a night in ThunderBay ON, Yonge St goes through the middle of the town. it must be the longest street if it goes that far.

Yonge Street being the longest street the world is an extremely persistent urban misconception: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yonge_Street
Most of Highway 11, even before Mike Harris was premier, was not Yonge Street.

Perhaps then, longest in Ontario? Or how about, just long. Anyway, salient point being, dat's a lotta trucks, baby !

Better Dwelling has been calling on a catastrophic collapse in Canadian (specifically Toronto/Vancouver) real estate since 2010. At some point a prediction is either wrong or right. You can't predict a storm everyday and when it happens in 3 years say "I told you so"
I agree there are cracks in the system particularly with household debt levels, but don't just post an article from an extremely pedantic blog and consider it factual.
The people who lend money on these projects are razor sharp risk takers. There's always a chance that things don't work out....but one thing is certain - the private lenders didn't become rich by making foolish investments.

What's the super-column piling tally at? I've had a hard time keeping track of where they're working!
