Meanwhile, the sidewalk level has been the same hoarded-up crime against humanity it's been for years. I couldn't care less about the height of this tower or that, or what kind of glass they're using. I walk past this thing every day and there seems to be no progress whatsoever; you'd think they...

We had a condo meeting at Bloor Walk 1 on the 22nd of March, and afterward I asked our new property manager about the parking situation (since there are those obvious ramps in the Couture pit.) On the inside of our own parking garages you can see the other side of those cinder block segments...

The excavator was removed from the pit this morning by a heavy crane truck. The last bit of exposed earth at the southeast corner had some plumbing installed and was filled in with gravel over the past couple of days. Looks like they're ready to cover the last bit of exposed soil with concrete...

The backhoe on site is now disassembling the earth ramp that was used for excavation, so I guess they're getting ready to really start squaring off the hole and filling the whole space. I'm curious as to whether the parking garage and foundations will take up the whole thing right up to the...

I recall a notice going up in the elevators here at BW1 to that effect. We're supposed to be getting a parking garage exit out onto Ted Rogers Way, which would be fantastic. No more trying to negotiate the dreadful CREIT garage and the turn off Hayden onto Church.

A notice went up in the elevators at Bloor Walk 1 in the past couple of days that construction will begin on Couture in March or April. The context was for residents to expect construction traffic on Hayden. EDITED at 1:49 pm: I just noticed there's chainlink fence along Jarv...er, Ted Rogers...

I recently moved into BW1, and that is my understanding as well (though I'm not sure how happy I am about our pool suddenly hosting another 44 storeys of people). This affords me a great view of the construction sites for not only Couture, but X and X2 as well. More soil samples today!

The white nose of a truck in your second picture, peeking out from behind the sales office, was the one doing the drilling. It had big jeezly corkscrews attached to its back end, sending them down in the asphalt.

Some activity on the lot. I don't know if it means they're moving forward with construction now, but the Impark gravel lot was closed today, and about an hour and a half ago there was a surveyor taking some measurements around there. There was also some truck drilling in the paved parking lot...
