I wonder if any other archaeological artifacts have been discovered during this dig. Being a wharf that had I assume ships containing goods, and what might have been littered around.

I don't think late 19th century wharves count as archaeologically significant. That refers more to ancient artifacts.

Those kitchens look so cramped. I dont like this compact "european inspired kitchen" trend with barely any counterspace and tiny refrigerators, It's just an excuse for builders to the developer to cut costs

not everyone is making six figures and able to afford UBER eats every night. Buyers should collectively demand better

I often wonder how much the workers must curse when they get a fresh dumping of snow on their site. I guess it matters a lot less when all they're doing is excavating but I can imagine it adds a lot of work when they're in the construction phase.

Buyers can't "demand" anything. They can choose not to buy it. In this case, if they do, others will happily buy it in their place.

And there-in lies the problem . People who fall for marketing hype and the flawed notion of primary homeownership as always being the best investment.

When I say 'demand' , I mean millions of people wake up and boycott. This kind of a project would have never sold 15 years ago because most people didnt worship at the throne of TREB, artifcially suppressed interest rates, cheap money and hype.. Condos from the early 00's have much more practical kitchens with more counterspace and full size fridges.

The more this building grows, the more it is growing on me. Nice materials and details so far. Nothing exceptional but not bad (and I will take "not bad" at this point, sadly).

The only miss is the glazing at the podium - especially since it is public-facing.

Exactly, this shot by @skycandy makes one wonder what Pinnacle were thinking. Developers usually spend the most near the ground so that passersby are impressed by what they can see best. I'm not arguing that the curtainwall and window wall should be swapped here, only that the window wall should have been of as high a quality as what's higher up.
