To quote myself, I was wondering if any more recent projects in Toronto ever surpassing Scotia Plaza in this respect?
I'm bumping this because I just came across this video about 1515 Alberni in Vancouver:
The video was just released 4 weeks ago though apparently this excavation happened one...
Love that park, it's such a great vantage point to take photos of the city from. Here's a bunch I took from earlier in the year that I didn't get around to posting
Thanks 👍 I was actually just over there earlier in the year myself-there's not too many complexes of it's size in Ontario anymore, always found such industrial facilities interesting;
The remaining stack is still the tallest structure in Oakville for now, with stamping facility seen right behind it
It was dropped in 2012 in what was just about the most anti-climatic explosive demolition ever for outside spectators as they couldn't see anything because of the early morning fog.
Someone did take a video of the event from inside the grounds though which was actually somewhat dramatic...
