They were doing some drilling in the southwest corner this morning. Is this the excavation continuing?

 

[UrbanAffair]

Probably for a crane. I think the site has leveled out in that area afaik.

Probably for a crane.

Probably, i wonder whats in store for the 2nd phase.

 

[UrbanAffair]

I thought the site was: 29 storey condo in south east corner, library in south west corner, park for the rest? I didn't think their was a second phase?

Something (mid-rise) is planned for the north-east corner...the rest will be park land.

Looks like the drilling was for footings. Some are already filled with concrete and rebar.

You beat me to it Atlantis. You are right, there are footings. I also noticed piping and water being drained out in photo #3. Not sure where it's coming from, but it's a continuous flow.

 

[Atlantis]

Haven't they been pumping that water for months now? I too would like to know where it's all coming from.
