Christ!

What the hell are those white trailers doing all over the roof of that building? It looks like an addition gone awry...

They may look like trailers, but they are actually the permanent 6th, and 7th floors of George Brown College. (The biggest "trailer" is the college gym!") Why waste valuable funds on bricks and mortar when aluminium and white paint will do the job?

That's unfortunate.

There should be bylaws against that.

Am I the only one who's inspired to say "Constructicons Assemble!" from that pic!?

Wow so much for environmentally friendly urban-ism. Those dump trucks and heavy equipment produce more pollution than the average farmer!

 

[Hydrogen]

Those farmers must have bad cases of gas.

LOL! That was very entertaining, thank you for it!

Work on the base for a second crane has begun. Looks like both cranes will be going up around the same time. To me it looks like there's also room for a third crane.

There is going to be three cranes in total.

This one excites me. Will make a huge change to the east end.

agreed! the continuity that Vu will bring to both Adelaide and Jarvis streets is going to really tighten them up visually. As Ive said before Vu will also do a nice job of closing in the northeast corner of St James park and act as a nice backdrop to views from inside the park.

and ya, that one shot with the 2 diggers and 2 dumptrucks really looks like toys in a sandbox, very cool shots! And oh ya, we can see the core and crane of BA rising in that shot too... just visualize the finished blue glass box filling in that section of sky!

Thanks for the photos. I never realized how big that hole was until now.
