Looks like you timed it right as they were fitting new tie-ins for the crane the pictures that have been taken of this building over the course of the last 4 years should give a lot of people pride in their skill as photographers because every single day somebody on this site puts up one bad ass photo

Isn't she (almost) fully grown by now? Just a few floors to go.

What are people's estimates when the sidewalk gets cleaned up and the retail space opened?

I imagine the loading off Balmuto will serve as the interior construction route once the building envelope is closed and there won't be any need for hoardings on Bloor and Yonge.

Some people has been saying the crown is going to take a longer time to complete. I will not be surprised for this to continue till Fall.

That’s probably a fair assessment. I can see the sidewalk cleaned up before Christmas. I’m sure they’re motivated to get that retail space opened by the holiday shopping season. They’ve already missed out on a decade in retail rent. Is the hotel chain the same one that this project started with?

Do we know if residential interior fittings are already taking place? I haven’t followed the latest on the real estate but if previous condo sales are getting revoked as has been rumoured, they’ve probably stopped putting up interior walls if they don’t know what walls to put up.

Just curious how do native speakers assign gender to something like a ship or a skyscraper. Shouldn't it be IT?? 😅

There's a weird convention for english that many things that are built are assigned female pronouns (ships, cars, buildings, bridges). Historically, the reason for ships and cars is because of connection to a mother-figure goddess, but why she is used for buildings as well... no idea

Here’s a video explaining why ships are given the feminine gender in English:
