November 2. The crane operator better be careful. Those hydro wires are a PITA.

I've always thought it's crazy to build a high-rise to this degree immediately adjacent to a hydro corridor.

Is there anywhere in the city where we have a tower so close to a high-voltage power line? I cant think of any place that comes to mind.

Never stopped to measure but, there are high rises built next to corridors all over Toronto.

Are 50 storey apartment towers clusters as appealing as low and mid rise multi-family?
Then dense suburban residential skyscraper clusters that only have one supporting argument being a higher transit station/hub.

Nice finds, I was generally curious to see if anything like it existed in the city, and it appears we do.

I'm 90% confident that this development would be the tallest building that's immediately adjacent to a hydro corridor in the city proper once it's completed.

Crane is going up on Saturday. Condos in the area received notice from Centre Court that Aukland will be closed during the day during the install.

Pictures taken last Sunday.
