Actual assembly of the tower crane started this morning - by noon it was basically complete, and by 1:30 this afternoon the mobile crane was down, packed up, heading up the ramp and out of the site. I guess with all the buildings being done in Toronto over the past few years, the crews have got the process of erecting tower cranes down to an art.

Yes.
The Minor Variance Application is Approved on Condition
It is the decision of the Committee of Adjustment to approve this variance application for the following reasons:
Number of storeys stays at 20, highest point stays at 69 metres, as best as I can tell. (Maybe we were already reporting the sought-after numbers? If it's not that, then I'm not reading the document correctly.)
