As of October 10th, Building A had more or less topped out at 12 storeys, with work beginning on the 11th floor of Building B. There were a lot more bricks this time around, as well :) October 10, 2011

Here's a quick snap from the bridge nearby:

There are now seven cranes on this site. Coordinating them so they don't get in each other's way must be quite a task... In other news, the World on Yonge sales office has been moved to 1 Steelcase Road West. I would imagine the former Wendy's restaurant they've been using up until now won't...

Building A has reached the 11th floor, while Building B is at the 9th. Exterior brickwork has begun on the west side of Building A, and looks very similar to the renderings that have been released thus far. September 18, 2011:

There's been a lot of progress on this site lately, with Building A now at the seventh storey, and Building B at floor six. Here are some pics from Saturday: August 20, 2011

I was hoping you'd post some PDI pics, after following your epic saga over the last few years :) Congratulations - your suite looks great! Out of curiosity, did you have any issues with the PDI itself? Did they try to rush you out of there, or harass you about pointing out too many...

Wow, sorry to hear that. That's quite a delay. I wonder if they've decided to start occupying both buildings at the same time, as Building B's occupancy is set to begin next July. At least, that's what they were saying a few weeks ago...

July 23, 2011 Construction for Building A has reached the fourth floor, while work continues on the third floor for Building B. The entrance for the shared lobby is also starting to take shape, as seen below.

June 26, 2011 Update Work has begun on the third floor of the west building, while construction is underway on the first and second floors of the east building.

May 28, 2011 Building A at 1st Floor: Building B at Ground Level:

Looks like the architect for this project is Page & Steele. In other news, the "Mr. Lube" and former car dealership will not be part of the building site (which is odd, since Minto's using the dealership for a sales office, but I digress). Here's Minto's proposal for the site:

I've noticed that in some cases photos posted to the forums aren't appearing at their full size anymore. For example, the images I've put up (hosted on PhotoBucket) are 1024 pixels wide, but for some reason they appear smaller when viewed on UT – unless they're vertically oriented, in which...

You're welcome :) Here are some more pics from today. Construction appears to have reached ground level for the west building, with the east building following closely behind. April 30, 2011

When I was at the sales office last summer, they were hoping to start the colour selection process in May or June of 2011. If they're behind on construction then I'd imagine this will get pushed back as well. That being said, I don't know if they're behind or not. From what I understand (and...

It's worth pointing out that there are a number of mid-highrise buildings along this stretch of Yonge that have been there for years, some featuring the much-coveted "retail at grade", so it's not all decaying strip-malls in the area. There have been multiple proposals to redevelop the...

Apparently Minto is planning to build a 6-storey condo just north of Yonge Street & Arnold Avenue in Thornhill. It looks like they'll be using the old Mitsubishi dealership as a sales office. I'm not sure if the Mr. Lube on the corner will be staying or not, but the Thornhill Village Plaza to...

They've started working on the foundation and underground garage now. There's also a crane on site, although it looks to me like they might end up using two in the end. Pics below. January 29, 2011

What will happen to people who already have binding agreements to purchase pre-construction condos and were pre-qualified for mortgages using the existing standards? If the government's changes are drastic enough, there may be a lot of first time buyers who won't be able to close anymore when...
