Adding a Concord like slip to the tower.

bet the workers will be thankful for the break from the weather...

I like the art element of the hoarding, maybe some recycled communist "worker" imagery? I can almost hear the accompanying music, "Ode to the Tractor"

^^LOL. Thought the same thing. All they are missing is the hammer and the sickle.

So its that obvious?! I always think the exact same thing when I'm around such imagery!

Wouldn't it be funny if that was actually the new cladding that we're seeing here.

Thanks for the updated pictures. That hoarding looks very interesting...but really is it "that" cold?

 

[Edward Skira]

No its not. Its elsewhere as well.

 

[caltrane74]

yeah, I realized that, and went back and edited my post.

(for those that missed it, I had thought this fiberglass hoarding had something to do with the historic facade which will be attached to the exterior of the building)

For me, somehow this project is much more interesting than any other project in Toronto, including Trump Tower. Refreshing to see a nice large office tower rise in the downtown core.

Indeed--as much as the design is kind of blah, it's exhilirating to see a no-BS, steel-frame office tower going up for a change. Here we go...

Thanks... too bad the cold weather seems to be slowing this one down a bit...

Oh well.

By next week things will be back in high gear.
