i only wish we actually had a history that "spans centuries" though...
based on what i could find on doors open toronto day, there is almost nothing before the 1900's...

1800's 1900's 2000's Equals a plural of centuries. It is what we have so be happy.

Much of the 19th-century built form of the city has already been demolished.

The hyperventilation over this one is getting a bit hysterical.

For those with their knickers in a knot about the state of progress, we did say in a recent front page story that there's equipment on its way from Europe to tackle the spacial foundation work here, and that you'll be seeing and hearing lots more in September about this development. It's summertime, relax a little!

BTW, it was Crombie, not Sewell, who introduced the 45-foot height limit.

42

Did the special equipment from Europe they were waiting for arrive yet? I thought it was something to handle the larger columns? The ones they have done so far look normal size.

I came across this video today from one of Anchor Shoring guys onsite. 140’ pipe install into the caisson.

I know this has been asked a few times but I haven't see a definitive answer yet: do we know if this will be top-down construction (i.e. will we be seeing P1 being poured and work persisting below while they build up? The fact that they aren't moving the building is leading me to believe this would be the case (and the incredibly ambitious plans to have the retail open in like a year or something).

Gee so much work being put into the old heapView attachment 146448
to look this cheesy

I love how they went through the trouble of putting Apple Store furniture in there. None of the other floors in the model have any furniture.

Seems like a lot of work to keep that building in place. We might have got some better givebacks (e.g. better 24-hour pop-space inside) by not insisting on that, and allowing a preserved facade instead.
