Looks like they are digging out the ramp this morning.

Today:

Complicated little site that's slowly coming together.

 

[Miscreant]

Yeah, that's really cool. A lot of manouevering going on in there.

After looking over the plans again, it's impressive how narrow the northernmost part of the podium is. It's quite something. It's really a tight site for them to be working in. But it makes for a more interesting effect on King Street having a relatively narrow frontage in addition to the row of heritage buildings; keeps things varied.

Agreed. The narrowness kept that parking lot a parking lot for such a long time. With the land value finally rising enough to make the atypical site worth the cost of redeveloping it, I think we are lucky to be getting as interesting a building as we are here. I am very curious to see how the orange fins will be realized, and I wonder if the effect might be something like the bottom of the 'fronds' which are now being clad at the base of U Condos.

True, but, of course, the Albany Club and their neighbours are asking for a major building on the King Street site - MAYBE keeping the facades. Ugh!

The Albany Club and its immediate neighbours not a part of the current proposal at 65 through 75 King East.

Progress continues.

 

[Miscreant]

Neat--if I'm not mistaken we don't usually see them build out a corner like that, leaving the rest of the pit largely untouched? I take it has to do with this logistics of this site. But there's an impressive organized confusion in there right now.

From today. Construction porn at its best.

That tractor section is precariously perched on the edge of the pit..
