They don't have to be usable. Just leave 'em there for looks.

He's "the master"
Androiduk, if you can remember that spot in a couple of years consider doing a "before & after" shot, I think it could be really dramatic. I really think Five, the project behind Gloucester Mews, One Bloor and Nicolas Residences are going to add a whole new feel and contribute positively to northern end of downtown Yonge.I was walking down Yonge St. late Saturday afternoon and they were doing something at the Five site that was causing huge dust clouds to rise, I couldn't see halfway along St. Joseph Street through the dust.

Anyone know what those big concrete things on the road are for?

It's a footing for the temporary falsework that will hold up the facade while the rest of the building is demo'd.

And I'll presume those holes in the facade are where the falsework'll plug in...

The shoring beams on this project are going to be 100' long using 24 WF 84
I am a little lost as what this slab is going to be used for other an a base of a tower crane.

The slab is going to be the base of the steel struts which will support the historic facade (meeting the building at a 45 degree angle). A steel frame will also be constructed behind the facade, at which point the balance of the building will be demolished and the excavation will begin.

After posting, I realize it was going to support the front wall while rest of the building was removed until the new structure was built to support it.
