any recent pics? Has it reached street level yet?

Should be at street level by January at the latest.

Rebar has hit street level in a number of places.

Photo taken today looking south towards the Metro Convention Centre. Ritz is almost at ground level.

You should invite Current to join Urban Toronto. Would be less work for you. Thanks for the updates.

 

[caltrane74]

I wish he would join......

I wonder what is holding him up?....................hmmm

Ask 3D.

I'm not sure if this render was posted in this forum but I think it makes Ritz look fantastic! Very slender and sexy!

Thanks, I've never seen that one and it does look cool.

 

[simply Dan]

Excellent rendering! That is going to be one sharp tower!

Ever so slowly this building is creeping up to the street..

There is some similarity to the Citicorp tower in NYC-

I think this tower should be rotated so the slope faces the city.

If it ends up looking like cassius' rendering, it'll be great.

ya cool indeed! this is the first time I have had any real excitement about this building... really hope it ends up looking close to this render. Curiously, RBC is not included even though its part of the same project... the view presented from this angle will never be seen in real life.

Photo taken January 11. Rebar has reached ground level on the north side and fresh concrete had been poured to form the slab visible in the picture foreground. It is about one foot below the current ground level on the north side. According to the RBC web site:

January 2008

The adjacent Ritz-Carlton project will continue forming and pouring the ground floor slab.

Thank you caltrane74 and Edward, I am glad to be a member of Urban Toronto and I will continue to post photos so you will have less work.

Thanks for the post.

Now that it has hit street level it will be ever-easier to watch this. I'll be interested to watch how the curved wall will be constructed.

Thanks current!!!

A little over a year to dig down, and then get back up to street level.
