I know about crane; actually, I posted pictures of the crane mounting work. I just wanted to know if they started pouring concrete for foundation or they still trying to fix the underground water leak(s).

They are not yet ready to pour for the foundation at all.
The floor of the excavation has not been leveled; they did pouring concrete around the base of the crane but nowhere else. The ramp to the excavation still occupies at least one third of the site.
They could work on the west side of the site, but there was still some open water on Friday.

Sounds like an excavation nightmare
There is a fairly small crew at any one time, probably no more than a dozen.
Today the one backhoe was working near the base of the crane and they were re-sculpting the ramp once again with a dozer.
There still are pools of water at the base in various areas.

I just came across a bit of info in this article (a link posted by kristopher): "...the Yonge Sheppard project is currently under construction to be completed by 2016". Was it scheduled to be completed some time in late 2013-early 2014??

On the same site I found some intersting variation of Emerald Park with three towers:

I think that was one of the very preliminary renders from a couple years ago.

I believe that you will find this one and others on the first few pages of this thread.

When I called in to the Emerald Park office, I got a word that this project will likely finish with people moving in 2014.

March 16th Update:
My view of this gets worse by the week. From the looks of it they seem to be pouring columns and walls.

Those pillars to the west of the Emerald crane are the beginning of the base.
Footings are going in; the ground between the crane and the west wall has been levelled. The trenches with water have been dried and concrete poured. In addition, the ramp has been extensively remodelled this week and reduced in size.
Here is my latest view from Friday; unfortunately, the pillars appear rather small in this photo.

Finally, it is going up! I would guess some time this fall it will reach the street level.

The pile of dirt is shrinking:
They poured plenty of concrete at the east side; I am not sure if it was for a second crane foundation or related to underground water leaks fixing.
