Taken this morning. Of the three cranes on site, two will likely be raised sometime this week.

Great shots! I forgot how massive this project is.

Without a doubt. On weekdays the Duncan, Nelson and Richmond gate flows are pretty steady and heavy.

I'm particularly excited about this one. Driving down Richmond will be fantastic.

That's true. Plus, it should hide Boutique nicely.

A visit to the Studio construction site from late last year is the subject of a new front page story here!

While I like tall, unbroken streetwalls, I dislike the monotony of wide developments. Think about how much better looking that strip would be if the architect broke up the facade somewhat. Toronto's Victorian commercial strips derive their vibrancy not only from the stores at their bases, but because the buildings in which they're housed are long and narrow, rather than shallow and wide.

Also: trees would soften up that view quite a bit.

It isn't the shape of the buildings, but the shape of the retail spaces themselves. A wide building could still have many smaller retail units, similar in size to those that you've mentioned.

They did... somewhat:
