^I don't recall another project using a raft slab
Toronto Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Toronto | 203.9m | 52s | Lifetime | a—A
How long before rumours start that they forgot to factor in the weight of the slab, and so the Four Seasons is sinking into the earth? Any old Robarts rumourmongers want to volunteer to propagate it?

FYI ... second crane going up today!
When I left it was half way done.
It's located on the North West side of the lot.
I think we might see 1 more actually on the North East side.

Ahh, I was wondering where the trucks carrying crane segments on Yonge Street today where headed. It's good to see cranes still going up.

I love how the towers' will have exceptional high-end finishes, but at the same time acknowledge the significance of modernism to the city. Beats trump any day IMO.

Looking west towards Bay St.
Looking northwest, they are removing the ramp.
A restaurant on Bay just south of the site is closing and they have a unique way of announcing it.

Does that mean they were threatened to be killed, or just had a killer offer?

Thank god. I was just thinking how there was a terrible lack of sushi restaurants in the city of Toronto!

hahahahaha.
there is an overload of sushi in toronto, most def. most of them are crap though. good if you're stoned or just hungry but bad if you want to enjoy something fresh and tasty.
ADVERT: everyone go to KOKYO sushi, on alexander street at yonge (just north of college subway station).terrific sushi! amazing quality. check out the softshell crab.
anyway, four seasons: interesting. the design doesn't really turn me on, although it is certainly elegant. i want to see how the podium will interact with the street. the greatest thing about this project though is the park right next to the tower. the rose garden looks beautiful. i'm also so excited to see a 'second' skyline emerge in toronto. The Skyline of Yorkville: that sounds nice.

That is a mighty large hole to fill. Here's a toast to pages of posts regarding 'when do you think it will reach street level?'
