This is the first time I’ve noticed they already installed the window coverings. I couldn’t be happier about the color they chose, especially seeing the contrast of what the white blinds did to L-tower (on the left).

Looks to be taken from about the 20th floor (88 Scott St)? In about a year that little sliver of lake view will be gone! Sorry Ryan

Every time I see a photo like this it makes me wonder about the possible timeline to an ACC... I mean Scotiabank Arena tower built where their current short office space building is now. It would have to be extremely small footprint in order to preserve the arena, but I could definitely see it happening long term as tower sites get scarce and the owners see money to be made. I think it would be cool, the question just is how much could be done without interrupting operations of the Arena, unless they wanted to redevelop the entire Arena which would then require a temporary space to replace it.
CIBC square looks gorgeous in this photo too and I'm very interested to see how the second tower interacts with the spaces around it when it's built. This particular view across the tracks where you can see through to south core I find really cool, getting such a great glimpse far away through and seeing the other towers in the distance, and unfortunately it will be mostly blocked, but the second tower and how it changes the terrain of the area will be very interesting to see and likely have some of it's own great angles and new scenes created.

So after all the millions spent on renovating ACC/Scotiabank Arena did they seriously leave a full corner of the old aluminum cladding untouched?

I'm sure the developers, buyers and residents of 88 Scott Street didn't give two hoots about the views that the then new tower they were building and investing in were blocking.Looks to be taken from about the 20th floor (88 Scott St)?

Late afternoon pics...
Smooth as a (tower's basement) bottom....(three workers left-central for scale).
Newly-paved section west side.. (among other things).
Step work upper staircase...
Seems like under-lighting for some of these sections...
Coffee break in the stonework section...
Levellers...check. Fresh concrete/gravel ...check. Beautiful large stones....check.
Ok boys…back to work. Carrying a large stone into place.

They're not screwing around on this project. This thing is moving at a nice clip.

Having watched the first Tower go in, and watched almost daily during the pandemic, I have to hand it to the crews. This project has gone up at such a rate, and especially when compared to other projects I visited often it seemed (superficial and anecdotal) that this project just ran so well.

When the banks have their name attached to something, you know your getting good quality and construction. Case in point, our Financial District.

8/26 - The tower crane for phase 2 has been working away through the morning. When I was able to visit Toronto more often pre-pandemic it was a real bonus to have the view of CIBC Square while it was rising so I'm hoping my buddy hangs on to this place while phase 2 begins to rise!
