Nasty argument in the photo. Harrison appears to be telling Sean "I can literally give you the shaft", his right foot poised over the quick release pedal.

This thing is really rising now, I gotta wonder how well the cladding will look between the balcony slabs.

“Lifting of the H”. What the H does that mean? Thanks in advance.

“Lifting of the H”. What the H does that mean? Thanks in advance.

H refers to a Holding By-Law which freezes development for a period of time.

Often, but not exclusively to allow for the completion of certain infrastructure, such as roads or sewers or to complete certain studies.

A good primer can be found here:

I think it's something to do that organic sweeping windowed opening lobby in the corner in the render may not be possible with all that cinder block construction in the way. To be fair though, from that angle right now of the pictured was shot in question, it's difficult to see what is going on...as it appears there's still piece of the wall (part of the original TorStar printing house?) they're pulling down that is blocking that view currently. So I don't know what is actually going on there as far as the rendering matching is concerned... >.<

Could just be spandrel glass behind the screen with the horizontal slot in the screen being for the long horizontal window that has been installed in the cinderblock wall.

Double height corner is visible here:

Is the excavation for the second phase considered below grade work? As all the workers are inside cabs, i don't see this being an issue for the covid regs. right now.

Much easier to see where Harbour street will go between the buildings now.
