Wouldn't the Eaton Centre swamp both?

It's going to be mighty impressive when it all starts rising at the same time.

Was the entire site excavated at the same time?

Eaton Centre was done in two phases - first the Eaton Store along dundas, then the mall portion once Eatons had moved.

I remember as a kid the north end of the mall being open with the south end under construction. There was a massive wall splitting the north from the south with openings so you could see the construction. Unfortunately no camera for me back in those days.

Today's (Tuesday, March 27) update: The excavation of the area under the commercial tower at the corner of Spadina and Front Streets is now down to its final level, and the outline for the pit to be excavated for the crane base has been marked - the orange outline shown in the first photo below its a bit faint - it is rotated approximately 45 degrees from the perimeter walls, visually it is between the first and the second tie backs on the bottom left of the image.

The second photo is a general view of the excavation activities from the corner - Delterra appears to be making a concerted push on completion of the excavation in the area adjoining the commercial building.

Meanwhile, on the north side of Front Street, next to the site, Entera Utility Contractors has been removing the utility poles, and patching the sidewalk - a fresh asphalt patch is visible in the foreground, while the crew is busy doing another patch in the background of the photo.

P.S. - just noticed that this is posting # 1,000 in this thread - seems like a nice milestone.

i may be wrong but doubt it's all going up at the same time, you'll probably see a crane here and there for the next 5 years

The whole site is being excavated. See photos above.

Haha i know, still doesn't mean it's all going to rise at once

Well the office tower will obviously rise first as they are ready to start it now.

Riocan are advertising the tall rental tower as occupancy in Spring 2022 - https://riocanliving.com/portfolio/the-well/

It should be just as impressive watching the hole get filled and the retail mall be built. It'll look to most people like all the towers are going ahead too.

Yup you have a point, it's all good

In fact we also know that all of the podiums are going ahead as part of the first phase too. The big question is going to be how many of the buildings are constructed as rental, how many as condo, ad how long until condo sales get going.

Based on how attractive this development is for its composition, its design, and its location, they'd really have to screw it up/make too expensive, to no sell quickly. The constraint here might be how large a workforce can be assembled to complete it all "at once".
