Toronto 88 Bathurst | 68.3m | 17s | Hines | 3XN

I guess they didn't want to spec anodized panels and so we've ended up with a dull colour of window wall that isn't bright or dynamic. Those built-out "fin" features on the balconies are also really curious, especially the vents on them.
The project would look better if it were just a slab with balconies - cut the gimmicks.

Over the past decade, Toronto developers have a tendency to hire international firms only to tie their hands & force them to do their worst work here.
 
June 24 - Crane Day - Setting up to remove the remaining south tower crane at 88 Bathurst:

Awaiting on arrival of the crane - 88 Bathurst construction workers creating a human barricade at the intersection.

Crane arriving - coming up the west side of Bathurst in order to make the turn onto Wellington:

Turning on to Wellington facing east - first pass at the turn worked, with the main body of the mobile crane cleared the north-east corner traffic signal by less than an inch!

Ready to back up across Bathurst to get into position on Wellington:
