The heritage building isn't moving. It will be supported on 4 structural caissons which are already in place. Next they have to tie it all together with more beams that will be slid into place through openings that they will be cutting out. Moving it to a corner would be ideal but its not what is planned.

Someone has and is spending a lot of money on the property and I'm very much looking forward to their finished product. However, when I compare the speed of progress here to 16 York or CIBC Square and more recently, One Yonge, it leaves me wondering, why the slow start?
 
I think a few factors. Smaller site, heritage building and having to dig piling for the massive super-columns.
 
It's odd to me and my limited construction knowledge - there seems to be a lot of activity every day, but yet nothing ever seems to change. What are they doing that takes so long and isn't visually obvious? Shoring usually takes a maximum of a month, here we are on month 6 and counting..
