Today for the first time there are more than 20 people working on the foundation.

Nice pic, and not much left to develop...but there will definitely be a Waterclub-4

And just wait until 90 Harbour/1 York goes up there. That view from the CN tower will be awesome.

Before this scheme was hatched, there was this. These renders come from a book I scanned that was published 1989.

Not the same plot(s) of land as this project but still interesting.

 

[canarob]

Yeah, as much as we complain about anonymous boxes, having all those domes and pyramids would have been far worse.

That's another bullet dodged.

Oops, you're right, this is behind it off Bay Street. Part of the this plan is now Success Tower @ Pinnacle.

Those towers were going to be called the World Trade Centre, hence the Residences of the World Trade Centre which were built at Yonge and Queens Quay.

I can't believe how much dirt the excavated out of there. That's a huge footprint. Did it all go to the Spit? I'm trying to think of another recent project with that big of a footprint. How many stories below grade?

Ah man, the more I see of this, the more I want PoMo back. Seriously. This city is so conservative it's putting me to sleep.

Two. Three perhaps, but I'm positive it's two.

I don't think the Spit takes materials from major construction sites any longer.
