Here's what was going on at the site yesterday. Let's start with a map meant for truck traffic, but for us it'll explain what's where.

Here's the Building A and B site from across the street. The crane is at the back of the site.

Building A will go into the foreground of the pit.

In the northeast corner of the site, the first crane is in place for Building B. I don't know enough about the project to know if A or B are rental or condo. Anyone?

The remainder of these are all of the Building D site, which I'm pretty sure is going to be a condo.

In the southeast corner of the site, the existing rental tower's underground garage got partially demolished. (I assume that's why the current Building C site is a parking lot currently.) These shots show where the new construction will meet the existing building, at least underground.

Stop for a couple of minutes on your next drive-by with a camera! Is crane number 2 at the north end on the rental building as well, or are they starting on the condo?!

Second crane is in the same pit as the first crane, closer to the Kingsway - both are along the north end of the site. I'll try to get a picture soon.

Please shoot both pits, from multiple views if possible!
 
I took a number of shots of this project today.

From Humbertown, the two cranes appear to flank the existing rental tower:

Not tons to see from the road with hoarding blocking construction and a security guard at the site gate:

But I found a great viewing area for the larger pit behind one of the low-rise apartments:

And I found a spot to view the other pit from near the existing rental tower:

To answer my own question from a few posts ago, I have looked it up:
Building A: Market Rentals
Building B: Replacement Rentals
Building C: Condos
Building D: Condos
