The point of this thread is to document every stage and angle. Ideally, every project should have the coverage of One Bloor.

Except for koops/dave everyone participating in this thread is pretty lazy.

I take maybe 1/2 photos of the Toronto buildings each week..and I'm getting lazier.

While your updates are great, sometimes I wonder why you take photos of the same building from the same angle one week apart. It's not like much visual progress is made in one week, always wondered about that!

I also try and update when I can, although I generally only walk through the midtown projects of Toronto, since I gotta do errands around there.

Well now you have your answer! I have the "itis"

And now that Trump is president, my laziness will only get worse.

Is it wrong to take a picture of a skyscraper? This is the only true skyscraper thread in the Canada section. Need more pictures to be honest. Just everyone has the "itis".

A diversity of pictures would likely be preferable to most here. Different buildings, different cities. I concur that 20 photos of the same project are unneeded. That brings to mind the Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur photo spammers who make SC unbearable.

That would be ideal, but to clarify, I should have said that many posts are from the same stage and angle. On the other hand, I want to see more photos of the other nine projects, yet there are surprisingly few.

Big ups to Caltrane and Koops in any case - keep up the great work!

I actually take a lot of pics of projects on my phone while walking. I should stop being lazy and upload some of them! Residences of 488 University is actually getting pretty interesting now as they have 2 floors of steel framing up to support the new condo construction. Not a huge fan of the project from an aesthetic perspective but from an engineering one it's fascinating.

Thanks... I don't get downtown very often, so when I do, and I remember to take my camera along, I snap some pix... as simple as that.

Here's 488 University from about a week ago - since then they have added another level of steel to prep for the condo construction above.

It will be interesting to see a CIP/Concrete tower constructed on top of that steel tabletop frame.

Waiting for the next stage.
