Yes. So much excitement here when GWL built a second jaw dropping 5 floor tower on Osborne N and Air Canada a massive 9 floor skyscraper monster on Portage Ave back in the mid 1980's.
When Hydro was being built, the media said it would dramatically alter our skyline forever. What?
Not exactly.

I was downtown this morning and noticed a good amount of activity at the Sutton place site. Hopefully things are starting to ramp up again.

Don't give me hope. Not again.

I notice the crane is in different positions all the time. Not sure if they're using it or just weather vaning.

Just a handful of guys on site these days. Mostly working underground.

Hydro didn’t alter our skyline drastically because they went for essential big floor plates on 2 towers combined into one , if they had built just 1 slender tower with average floor plate size it could’ve been a 500 footer plus and there was something about the buildings “ shade factor “ in regards to Air Canada Park .

Air Canada Park is shady enough, I guess. But geez, what a crummy reason not to build something taller.

There is a man in the crane.

I repeat. There is a man in the crane!

Maybe it is Superman. He could probably complete Sutton Place by himself in less than 24 hours.
