I must say this is the smelliest excavation in recent memory. Very poor air quality in the area around the construction site.

Caused by the equipment or the contaminated soil?

I'm certain it's the site's toxic past they've been digging up. I've been holding my breath and speed-walking past it every morning. The construction workers aren't wearing respirators or anything!

I've noticed that the same fumes waft into the Distillery every so often - I guess whenever someone digs into the ground nearby.

Toronto's very own Kowloon Walled City. The excitement builds. (eye roll)

That is just too funny.

This development is just going to brickwall this entire block. It'll be something, and I aver not something particularly good.

At the corner of Front and Lower Sherbourne there is an 'indentation of the steel piles. I looked at the plans and it only appears to be an indentation below ground. Why would they do this and not make a 'rectangular' excavation since the above ground building seems to be rectangular?

anyone else concerned about the delay in construction for this project? They had approvals way before selling yet they're still way behind other projects that launched a year after (like sugar wharf)

hopefully it is stalled forever and never sees the light of day. (Sorry if you happen to be a purchaser)

They are excavating the site - which is filled with equipment - so I am not sure what you are talking about. If you think that a building suddenly 'appears' as soon as a developer starts selling Units you are living in a fantasy world!

If you buy off plans you can expect to wait up to 5 years for occupancy, also this is a huge project with a variety of heights. I think you have to wait until they actually start building, not just site prep, before the clock is ticking.

Hate to bump this awful project, but I wanted to point out that they haven't been clearing snow off of any of the sidewalks, in another show of how little they care for the neighbourhood.
