That's

Unless they can resolve the issue of the large number of homeless people causing disruptions every night at the Yonge and Bloor intersection, I doubt that area can develop a proper nightlife atmosphere. I live in the neighborhood as well!

That's precisely why I'd like a hotel and resto-bar with round the clock activity. A high end hotel would create an incentive to shoe away "undesirables" with eyes on the street day and night. A store of any type will close at 6 or 7PM and cede the intersection to those elements all night. Yonge and Bloor is gentrifying already, pushing the "Yonge Street" feeling south. A high end hotel will strengthen that effect.
 
I think that they have to wait until the remaining concrete is bored before they can move forward with the tuned mass damper as it is design for the buildings weight and not having those corners complete would be hundreds of pounds of difference between what the damper is designed for and what the current building is also if you look at hawcs pictures You can see that the core is still three levels down so they cannot close the elevator core yet

Then they should’ve waited to hoist that beam until they were ready. But as I’ve said, by the time they are, SkyTower will have surpassed 300m and Tridel can longer claim to have the first ‘building’ in Canada to hit that mark. Oh well, such antics are to be expected when developers are in a skyscraper race (see NYC in the late 1920s).
 
Corners first, then the top bits...to my understanding.

...on the brighter side of life, the blue corner hording thingies are only two floors away from the top now.

They can claim the first building in Canada to hit 300 metres FOREVER. They were the first and first doesn't change. The only thing they wont' be able to claim soon is the ONLY building.

I was referring to what would happen if they had waited until they were ready to work on the crown before having the ‘300m ceremony’. There’s a good chance that SkyTower would cross that mark by then.
