a crane is about to go up ... I noticed the base of it walking by earlier tonight.

The first crane is up as of yesterday. These guys aren't wasting any time.
I wonder if they are using steel like the ROM crystal?

The whole things sounds kinda fishy.

 

[whatever]

I don't really understand what we're seeing so far. Is the entire building really set that far back from Bremner, or is it just that there's a partial basement only encompassing the north half of the site?

Looks like a partial basement to me. The setback from Bremner should be pretty minimal:

Is this not for the enormous tank will be?

 

[AlvinofDiaspar]

Dunno, don't have the interior plan for the aquarium. I imagine it could be though - water is pretty heavy...

Quick pic showing what might be the base of the 2nd crane (?) and some intense pipe installation!

I may be the only one, but I was not aware of a "CN Tower Expansion". Can anyone shed some light?

 

[khris]

The CN Tower plans on putting in additional retail uses no?
