Underground parking progress as of this afternoon. It looks like this stage of construction is only for the western half of the site. My understanding is at this point the second and third tower are on hold and construction will wrap once the three underground levels are finished.

Pictures from this afternoon. Of note, while they’ve installed a tower crane here, all permit activity continues to suggest that they’re only building the underground parking at this point in time.

seems the other two towers are in a weird limbo right now:
"The city initially wanted five metres from King and Clarence streets, which would have scaled back the development."
"But the city ended up moving the planned BRT station to Wellington and King streets and only took one and a half metres off Clarence Street. That leaves plenty of land for future tower construction and Ayerswood is “weighing its options,” as to what it will do next, Kulchycki said. Article content “There’s land there now for multiple towers that could be built. Once the parking garage is done, we will revisit it,” likely by year’s end, he said. Article content The single tower with 140 units called Clarence Square was completed in May and began leasing in June. The underground parking garage now being built likely will be finished by year’s end, Kulchycki said."
