I can actually see the crane for the Millennium apartments better despite being farther away.

It's actually called
Franklyn Yards (after the former CNR yard occupying this site). All totaled, this is the largest residential project in the city, eventually encompassing 11 buildings. Yes, it is absolutely an assembly line, progressing rapidly and with insane efficiency.
The only reason why the Franklyn Yards doesn't have it's own thread is because the development consists entirely of cloned generic six storey apartment buildings. There's not much to talk about really. It's not in the central core, and will not contribute a lot to the architectural character of the city.
This is a quality development, don't get me wrong, and, will contribute greatly to overall density, it is just deadly boring and generic.
