I know this is irrational but I’m uncomfortable with how much this currently resembles the Bay-Adelaide Centre stump from the 1990s.

This one is leased and needs to be completed on time. Bay Adelaide wasn't. No comparison.

I also feel that, were I the TD board and about to kibosh this project, I’d demand the comapny’s sign be removed from it. Don’t want people calling it the “TD stump”; not good for business.

This will probably be of good quality, big banks don't skimp.

These banks were raking in billions even during the pandemic. There is absolutely no way this building doesnt get built.

I wonder if this is back to lockdown?

From what i've found, construction can continue.

C'mon now Cadillac Fairview even has their logo lit up on the crane too? I've never seen a company so desperate to market their name out.

I guess you've never seen an Oliver Jewelry commercial.
This happens all the time, nothing new. Here's a GWL-branded crane I shot in 2018, and I've seen many more over the years.

It isn't "desperation" it's an obvious way to get your brand out on the skyline while things are under construction.

Interesting. I've seen the standard "fabric" wrap signs placed on cranes before, but the one's with lights are a new sight for me.

In CF's case, it just seems desperate to me since they love plastering their logo across literally every. single. minute. object. possible.
