hmmm ... the service centre building looks vacant in those pics

Those shots are pretty funny. I guess someone is getting a new vehicle.

I watched this happen on Saturday afternoon! I was right at the intersection and heard a loud pouring noise and a bunch of guys yelling. I looked back at the construction site to see one of those concrete carrier things tipped over the top of the building (I guess misplaced by the crane) and a ton (literally) of concrete running down the side of the buliding and onto that car. It was pretty crazy to see. Luckily nobody was on the ground or we may have had some medusas to add to the Pride festivities.

Anyone see the Honda Pilot commercials ???
Watch it and you'll know what I mean and have a chuckle.

Interesting that the tower crane for this project is "off-site" (unless I'm missing something...?)

It's starting to rise--I wonder what building is planned for the garage site?

The crane is directly to the south of it. Its part of the same project. That's where access to the parking garage from Richmond is.

I heard the owner of the garage doesn't want to sell the site.

Everyone wants to sell, but for the right price.

Thanks for all the photos today UD!

a tonne of concrete? that's about 0.5 cubic meters of the stuff. i saw the vehicle yesterday; there's neither massive body deformation nor broken glass.

They removed most of the hardened concrete from the car a few weeks back.

Cladding going up. Nothing different than you'd find at CityPlace or 22 Wellesley etc. Ho hum.

Driving by today, I noticed Glasshouse's glass looking good, in a "typical Clewesian way." It will be interesting to see what the next Clewes look will be, aka, if he gets another chance in the next real estate cycle. Perhaps some good old-fashioned red brick?

Nice photo updates UD. I don't think Glasshouse was done by Clewes, unless their website is mistaken ... New York architect Karl Fischer.
