You try bringing in materials on a 9 to 5 schedule. It makes better use of daylight hours too, especially if overtime becomes necessary. And it's much better in the summer heat.

Needlessly? It's done for reasons of sensibility.

Yeah better to just let the homes deteriorate. Be thankful they're raising the overall property values in your neighbourhood and your house with it.
The construction workers working on those homes are also probably thankful for the money they make to feed their families.
But yeah, let's have an economy with less people working and less money being spent.
Also that tax credit expired a long time ago.
Bitter much?

A much more positive outlook on the economic merits of construction, with the sarcasm removed of course to show your true meaning.

well this is my last post on this topic as it's way far from one bloor now, but most of the noisy stuff is obviously landscaping since that's done outside, so nothing to do with homes deteriorating, and I don't think it raises overall property values when people chop down 100 ft. trees to build 3-4 car driveways and stone retaining walls, and keep the sound of stonecutting saws and cement mixers going from 7-7 every day of every summer in living memory.

Is this project poison or something? Has everyone left? Someone please take a pic.

They've done a good bit in the last two weeks. They've got a mezzanine formed up on the southeast corner ready for a pour, and it looks like they have most of the columns and walls poured for the second floor on the south half of the site. There are stacks of scaffolding sitting there waiting to be set up for forming the third floor. By the end of next week this thing will look taller than most of the storefronts it's replacing.

Podiums are big, complicated, big footprint things. Progress is slow to the naked eye. Patience is the word!

This is only your 5th post, so I'm not sure if you're just trying to be a trouble maker, but I can assure you people are hard at work at 1 Bloor East.
They've almost finished pouring the entire 2nd level which is massive because it includes the footprint for the tower and the podium still.
They've erected half of the colums that will support the 3rd floor and are starting to assemble the forms for that now (Monday Sept 16th)
So don't you worry, the project isn't "poison" and everyone hasn't left.

^ Maybe - but this project is going very slow. Look back two weeks ago - not much has changed.

Podiums are notoriously slow to build, given the non-repeating floor plans. That's been the case with every major tower built. Before the podium, they were going at a wicked pace.
