The fact that we are going to watch this forming process 101 times blows my mind...

Pay attention because if you blink they will be a few levels higher. Pinnacle moves fast.

From Sugar Wharf Aug 31, 2020. Guessing 40 ton excavator? I assume they will remove the equipment and install the tower crane on the same lift In the next week or so.
I like the optical illusion of size and depth in this picture..

Sorry, a bit off topic, but can anyone explain why Sugar Wharf condos needed that huge slab but the much taller phase 2 of 1 Yonge doesn’t? Are the soils that different even though they’re nearly right beside each other?

Can't wait to see this supertall start to climb above ground in the new year!

I had the same thought last year with the shorter first tower and now more obvious with the second larger tower. Seems very similar in depth, height and base conditions. I wonder what the premium for the structural budget was between the two sites. Over engineered or under engineered? Hopefully we never know. Maybe an earth quake rating was factored into the design?

Can anyone help me understand what the purpose of the trench is?

Total guess, but outline of the parking garage ramp, maybe?

Looks like it's for drains. If you go back a few pages you can trace the pipes leading back to the pits

Crappy cellphone zoom photo, but the white podium cladding is finally being installed.

Just a few, taken Sept. 28th, 2021; all from a bit of a distance.
First up, from Front Street, at Eastern Avenue:
Now a bit further west:
From St. Lawrence Market:
Bit closer now: From Yonge and Esplanade:
Finally, a much greater distance.............
Lake Shore Blvd at Booth Avenue (just barely peeking out in this shot)
