This morning. Forming the outdoor pool on the south-west podium roof, and a new crane base being installed on the west side.

One St. Thomas still grabs my attention more than anything else in that view... and I'm still waiting for a 70+ storey Stern building...

Today. Great to see it all coming together.

I only just noticed, as it's obscured by the crane, but the concrete pump has been installed on the core.

Now (literally):

The balcony debate has been done to death in so many threads. Can we put this to rest already? Some of us love our balconies. Myself included. Others don't. End of line!

Curious why some floors appear to have double railings on the balconies, as seen in @DarwinP 's photo above.

The selfish side of me is rejoicing, as this would've killed my views, but the construction geek in me is a tad disappointed, as the current bunker has zero street appeal. I'm hoping they will at least fix up the sidewalk, update the crappy old billboards, and clean up the exterior.

Slight oil-canning aside, the white cladding is looking sharp! It does a good job of detracting from the window wall on the podium levels.

Not to derail the thread, but does anyone know when/if are they going to do something with that old Dartmouth ferry in the harbour in Paclo's picture above?

Bridge to existing building being assembled.

Crane action!

Yesterday:

Great to see this bit of Yonge finally looking like a real street.

Dark Horse Espresso Bar is coming soon to the office lobby facing QQE, according to the hoarding that's now up.

I'm looking forward to visiting Thewell after doing my banking with Cibco. :)

... and from the opposite side...

Lots of other great old pics of the site can be found here.

Throwback to when this stretch of King Street had some vibrancy... although you can't see the wasteland of parking lots to the south in this shot. Source

Fingers crossed it's Cinnabon. To me, that's a more important piece of Union Station than the trains! :D
