Thanks

That would make sense (that those are for temporary support structures),
there's a lot of structure (the tower core?) to be built above the retail hall.

Today more active site than usual.

Oh...what's this?

Guess they will be going on those 4 footings.

Looks like the the temporary supports for the super columns.

Yeah, I count 4 plus a stack of bases. I wasn't expecting them to be all banana yellow though...

Thanks for clarifying that!

My first thought was 4 new cranes, but that would not make sense at all! Haha

Can you imagine 6 cranes working in close proximity to one another?! They'd have to spend more time dodging each other than actually help with the construction!

Also, I was curious and checked the older images from @Benito and this is what is underneath the footings!

Do people think this will be an iconic building in Toronto?

Do people think this will be an iconic building in Toronto?

Most definitely based on height alone. Its iconic status may fade as more prominent projects go up but at least in the near future it will.

 

[ptbotrmpfn]

It may not be the most outstanding but it will stand out, if that makes any sense.

 

[fanoftoronto]

I think this building has a lot going for it.

• Obviously 308.6m give it the height crown at least for a few years
• The distinctive exoskeleton with its bronze-colored cladding
• Location prominence - This building will definitely stand out when compared to its current neighbors
• Design - I know that's subjective but I really like it!

This will have the height crown for probably a whopping 12 months, if that. Depending if the construction pace picks up here soon, One Yonge could do a lot of catching up prior to completion now that it is under construction.
