Went by last night around 10pm and a welder was still working away.

is this the right video for this construction site..?

The information in our front page story came straight from Mizrahi Developments, from Sam's Vice President of Development, Josh Lax. (If we put something on the front page, we have researched it.) What you are seeing is not top-down construction. It is standard excavation, but with a platform being built for staging purposes as it's a tight site. We've seen this on many Toronto construction sites in the last couple of years as the City becomes more reluctant to give space on streets over to construction work. Sam calling it a hybrid is a little over-the-top.

Interesting. My wife and I were just talking about her biggest pet peeve while driving, which is private construction intruding into public space with sidewalk and lane closures. Looks like with some planning this can be avoided, but I'm sure it's easier to apply and get a permit. Glad to see the city is cracking down on the practice.

I've sent a big file to mayor Tory elected in office 1st ting.. 40 pics of it.. and they should peanalies all company for getting theses contractors to their job also why do they hold the blueprints one hand and scanners and spray gun on other .. these companies becoming so lazy for past 5 years now..i call it vandalism..

I was thinking, if there's no more steel as envisioned, will they still be able to achieve the column-free floorplans?

There isn't "no more steel"
It's a hybrid system with steel encased in concrete. The column-free floors are still happening

Is 'steel encased in concrete' any different from 'reinforced concrete'?

Yes. It's my understanding that these will be steel beams surrounded by concrete, rather than just rebar cages

The front page seems to have changed a few times in regards to construction methods hence the debate. There is no harm in asking the source for more information and then sharing it here.

Noticed they removed the construction ramp. Will be interesting how they are going to use dump trucks to remove materials.
