Agreed. Would be nice if the developer would put one up like they did with the Bay Adelaide cam from way back in 2008.

Wouldn't be suprised if Sam has thought of that. Time-lapse has long been a much-beloved trophy for important builds.
Eons ago the film company I worked with documented the entire CBC Headquarters construction using fairly low tech means (a stationary Nikon on a timer). A couple of thousand pics made a pretty stunning 60 second show.

You know if we record the entire construction on a 24 hour camera we could create a very cool time lapse when it's over.

Can someone tell me what the typical working hours are for construction crews on this type of project? Thanks ahead of time.

We're so used to seeing Benito's photos looking down at the site, it's going to be weird when at some point his photos will be looking up!

7 - 3 is pretty typical. Some sites shift things a little bit if it makes deliveries and logistics easier (it's a lot easier to take big deliveries when there are fewer cars on the road), and some sites will bring in an afternoon or a night shift, but the bulk of the work will be in that 7 - 3 window.

Yes, most sites are 7-3, with small exceptions for certain things.
One noticeable exception is Centrecourt sites, which operate 7-7. It's a big reason their buildings go up so much quicker than other developers. Costs more though.

On my morning walks it's very common to see crews show up earlier than that, 6:15-6:30. Typical for all sites in the area.

The noise at the site under my balcony starts promptly at 6:30-6:45 most mornings, but it's fairly quiet by 3:00 unless there's some specific thing going on later than that.

Guess we won't be seeing external construction elevators:

FWIW, One Bloor East used KONE Jumplift elevators, which are the same system more or less, but produced by a different brand. And we still had exterior hoists. This might be a case of both systems supplementing each other rather than just one.
