The Met + Encore at The Met (Edilcan, 43 + 33s, P+S) COMPLETE

That looks like it's taken from The Met. For the sake of those who live there, I hope there's no seizure inducing LED "art component" on the corner there.

Since I live right across from the top of Encore, you can bet I'm hoping that too!

Awesome photo. Where did that come from?

Thanks; sorry I wanted to post it bigger, but I'm a newbie here!

The curving balconies are quite interesting. Though I must say, the layout for the units make it difficult to place furniture. That's always a challenge with curve/round layouts

Actually the round room at The Met has a couple of good walls for furniture placement, so you don't have to block the view with a big couch or TV.

I noticed electrical/cable outlets at the bottom of the pillars. That's great! Does make it lot easier to place furniture. The pictured unit is definitely my favourite layout at the Met.

A coffee shop just east of The Met projects on Carlton Street, aptly named. Excellent coffee too, beans are freshly roasted on site.

Ah shucks, this town can be so cringeworthy at times. Where are the proud locals? The Carleton Coffee Roastery?

Encore progress

Where are the windows up to now in Encore?

 

[dt_toronto_geek]

Windows are nearing the top, maybe 2 floors left to complete plus a dozen or so floors of balcony glass. The roof panels are being framed now also.

Here's a photo partially showing the progress of Encore.

Thanks for the pic! It looks like they have windows in my unit now!

Windy today in T.O.

"A crane on top of a nearly completed building on Carlton St., east of Yonge St., was spinning 360 degrees overnight and scattering construction debris from the roof. There were no injuries reported but police taped off the area for a time and cautioned people to stay back. The spot was reopened to pedestrians and traffic at about 8am."

You can't believe everything you read. I live in a unit right across from the crane. It always moves in the wind, and it certainly wasn't spinning out of control. "...a crane being used on an almost finished building wobbled and blew crazily in the stiff gusts. Debris from the construction project also hit the street below. The street was declared safe by 8am."

The crane had nothing to do with debris falling; some of the fencing around the perimeter of the top blew off. This wasn't nearly as exciting as the news tries to make it sound!
