thanks for all these pics! The podium lines up nicely with the historic buildings further down the street...

I wonder if this will pull a Murano and start to shoot up like a rocket after languishing for an eternity.

Yes it will. Now that the complicated areas are done it will take off. A floor a week shouldn't be hard to do.

Pretty close. A site supervisor there, tells me its a new floor every eight days once they hit their stride.

I'm glad that it will soon start to rise quickly,it's been taking forever.

Does anyone know if there is going to be retail at the street level??

Retail? Oh yes. Mostly restaurants, outdoor patios etc... Pretty much a continuation of what is on the street now.
I live for that summer evening when I hope I see Mr. Hume of the Toronto Star sitting at one of those new outdoor patios sipping a brew and tell his entourage how the Esplanade is going down the tube.

Was on the rooftop deck last night and I couldn't see the London crane. I figured I might have had a few too many wobbly pops. Went up this afternoon and they are putting up a new crane. I've never seen a project replace a crane midway like this. Anybody have any ideas why?

Just one floor added in the last two weeks,that's real slow.

we've got to remember that one of the towers (I believe the east one) is only about 12 floors, so it will be topping out fairly soon, then they can put all their efforts into the remaining tower and it should pick up speed then.

Nice pics. I'm surprised there's only one crane.
