July 2 - A rebar steelworker's nirvana:

Always good to catch up on the air horn for this site. I was worried as there weren't any photos of it for a while.

I'm glad to see it's still there and well labelled.

I mean I'm sure the construction worker passes gas just like every human being but that's no reason to call him "AIR HORN"!!

Hard to see from the only accessible spot but indeed there is a ton of rebar being strung together.

July 9: A lot of concrete being poured today.

From today. It looks like 2 underground storeys are done and they have started on P2. It took them 7 months so far but not surprising given the envelope of the site.

Must be the smallest footprint for a building over 250m in Toronto.

Still faster than Pemberton

At this point I should change my name to Pemberton building critic with how often I s talk that site

I’m still wondering how facade will look like, because this is the top 1 most incomprehensible building in terms of what it will look like in real life

One facade will have ‘crumpled’ metal panels, with windows cut in a grid. The glassy facades will have panels that angle in and out.

...that looks pretty smexy though.

 

[Rascacielo]

Just hope it doesn't end up as grey spandrels and window walls. I know this is supposed to be a landmark Gehry project (his 'homecoming'), but hey, it's Toronto!

Looks great with the outside styling.

July 11: Lots of concrete going down....
