Less than a decade ago that Toronto Star building was one of the tallest in the area. And in a few years Prestige and the Sugar Wharf towers will be dwarved by much taller towers. If only we had better architecture and more varied colours as well as height …

Love to see the comparison in quality between phase one and two. Huge step up in terms of materials

Could be, that said I do not recall ever seeing in Toronto a tower crane installing a climbing frame after the fact without a significant dismantling of crane. It begs the question why wasn't the climbing frame installed when this tower crane was first erected just months ago?

As stated before (in response to you funny enough), https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threa...-hariri-pontarini.17920/page-395#post-1996275, the climbing section can be installed afterwards without any dismantling.

Rumor has it you can see this in action this weekend.

The climbing section arrives. Shame I'll be out the rest of the day and won't get to watch the whole process. Who doesn't love a bit of crane action on a sunny Saturday morning...

That is not the shame bro. Shame is the grey in the glass.

Heard one of the transports broke down, so it won't be installed today.
