Once One Bedford is complete the Intercontinental should fade into the background. It's a lot less bad when all you see is the Bloor St. facade.

Besides, the only thing "bad" about its rear is that, basically, it's a rear--a matter-of-fact backdrop to the parking lot...

nice to see this project actually get above ground.
if snail's pace turns you on, this project must be the motherload.
it's conceivable that the design has even changed slightly. i really wanna see some new renders and finally get a feel how the stone cladding will look.

No kidding (blixa442 said this back in 2006. June I think, post 90 of this thread)

Nope, serious. Hoarding went up Nov. 2006, and demolition nearly completed early April 2007, probably a couple of months after demolition began.

Tell me about it, though I think Boutique rivals it. Also Park Lake, which seems to have been stuck constructing the fourth floor for 6 months now!

There appears to be quite a bit of non-operating cranes throughout the city over the last little while.

Could it be the extreme cold weather?
I've heard that concrete does not cure properly beyond a certain temperature (can't recall what temp though).

It's true. Concrete is very hard to work with once the temperature drops beneath "f@##, it's cold."

Haha.
You guys are right. I can tell you that there has been no action yesterday and this morning at Panorama, Parade, West Harbour City, Waterparkcity. Wondering if construction guys are paid hourly or by project.

Most likley by the hour.Anytime there is bad weather most of them are sent home without pay,thats the way that its always been in that industry.
Most dont mind anyways they make as much money in 2-3 days as most people make in a week.
