Wow..thats one big crane for one small building.

I don't even think they'll have to jack it once.

I figured it was due for the crane...anyone else hanging with the arty crawlers on Queen West last night?

What a (insert here) concrete wall.

What a (insert here) concrete wall.

Agreed. And I had no idea it'd be so close to the sidewalk.

What a (insert here) concrete wall.

The wall reinforces and extends the tunnel motif: a design sensitive to it's surroundings is something people often beg architects for in Queen Street developments.

Here's the rendering. The unfortunate cinder block wall was noted by forumers when the rendering came out... looks even crappier in real life. I don't think anyone begs for this on Queen West.

Shouldn't there be some retail along that side?

That wall is a mistake. I hope they plan to put some of the maintenance fee money towards graffiti removal because that wall is going to get tagged often.
