I know this opinion is not shared by many, but I hate that they’re leaving that crane there. It doesn’t exactly complement the beautiful, natural environment they’re trying to establish. I get the desire to acknowledge the area’s industrial past, but this is just ugly and feels way overboard...

Nice! I was hoping for the best but feared the worst.

Have they started to reduce the thickness of the supercolumns above the new mechanical level? These rebar cages don’t look quite as hefty as before. 📷: @BloorMan

Looks like a pretty massive transfer slab is underway at this level. 📷: @wmedia

I am not getting ‘open for Christmas’ vibes from this. 😀

Next set of hangers underway… 📷: @Johnny Au

This stretch is really going to be the Great Wall of Podiums when these are all done, isn’t it.

Overall I think this looks fantastic — I mean, for a shopping mall — but I get a bit annoyed every time I look at all these plastic drain pipes. I’m no expert, but could that really have been the only solution? 📷: @Red Mars

Sorry, that wasn’t directed at you, it was for the small handful of people lurking behind the scenes waiting for an opportunity to go off on this again. ✌️

Can we please not spend the next five pages speculating about project financing, whether Mizrahi is a crook, how shady the investors are, etc etc, based on a random comment from “some guy” on Facebook (who may well be the dude who comes here stirring it up every couple of months)? Thanks in...

Dammit, I can’t find one single thing to be mad at with this project.

Hopefully the purpose of the test is to figure out how to resolve this corner so it fits like the mockup. 😄 📷: @jer1961 📷: UT update

Possibly this is a dumb question, but could those bits of cladding on the corner be test pieces so workers can perfect installing them before they start working with the ‘real’ ones? Is that a thing? Renders suggest that the cladding is one continuous piece from the corner over to the column...

My hunch — based on this rendering — is that the overlapping portion might be transparent, and you’ll see the banding through it. (Or perhaps that’s an optical illusion 😀). 📷: UT project page

Second row of glass incoming! Maybe we’ll get that first glimpse of the remaining cladding for Christmas. 📷: @skycandy
