Phase 1 timeline from ground breaking date: looking back through the thread sometime ago.
2019 12 01 concrete done - 30 months
2020 06 01 steel done - 37 months
2020 09 21 glass done, hoist removed - 40 months
2020 12 01 last crane removed - 43 months
2021 04 01 envelope 100% complete - 47 months
2021 11 01 landscape complete? - 53 months
2022 05 21 100% complete? - 60 months
I didn’t note when the first move in was. Assuming mid 2021? So guessing Feb 2026 opening for phase 2? Off site Dec 31, 2026?
Phase 1 May 21, 2017 to June 5, 2022 = 5 years
Phase 2 Dec 1, 2020 to Dec 1, 2025 = 5 years but tracking 1 year longer than phase 1 so 6 years?. No strikes, no covid - (in indoor spaces), no bus station,1 fire.

So what are those extra 2 floors at the west end? Are they office or mechanical?

Phase 1 had a lot more elbow room to work with? And with that, it appears a 3rd of tower hangs over the tracks in Phase 2 had to be compensated for...so yikes, another year seems reasonable here.

Mechanical + crown.

Yesterday morning. As I was walking by, the construction worker in the photo said "Holy sh--! It's almost done."

Ok, so i will ask again. Is this building 49 or 50 office floors? The two attached photos show a missing 13th floor and a top floor labeled 50 making this 49 floors if the two extra floors on the west end are indeed mechanical.

Database says 50 stories. Unless stated otherwise from officialdom, I'm gonna presume it's 50 stories.

Sorry for the awful photo… Glass has been installed on the back wall of the Yonge Street Bridge, but not the entire wall has glass on it, every other piece is a solid panel:

In an abstract way this is actually a very cool photo! The buildings behind the glass being in focus while everything else is blurry, how did your phone even do that?

Now that you point it out it’s pretty cool how that managed to happen! Trains move into Union pretty slowly so there might have been enough time for the camera to focus on the background instead of the bridge
