Shoring rig removed and the digging starts in earnest. Wonder when the hoarding will go up.

All the renderings that I've seen so far online makes it look like a really high end fancy condo! I'm sure it's really expensive as well.

This one is in the same league as 700 Sussex, the Re on Queen and 90 George. You have to be a millionaire to afford to live there.

That's the sense I got as well...

I wonder if they will sell enough units though, since it's not in the downtown area compared to the ones you listed

First set of tiebacks in and they're now moving the ramp down so digging can continue.

I get the sense that there are a lot of affluent boomers who are downsizing / moving on from the upkeep of a freehold house, and want to be in the urban west end, but not downtown.

I'm not entirely sure who's buying specifically the larger one-bedroom / one bed plus den units in here? Do the rent #s support it for an investor? Maybe there will be a few single/divorced boomers? (If I were one of those, I'd way rather live on Echo Drive). I don't imagine they're selling like hot cakes to the under-40 yuppies.

So many questions I have about the occupant profile of the under-$800,000 units in here!

yeah, i've talked to a bunch of ~60yo boomers downsizing from suburban houses to condos/towns that cost just as much as the house they're selling. 800k house to 800k 2br isnt a stretch for them, especially public servants/military who have the security of pensions coming in.

Blasting is well underway. Down about 2.5 levels.

Excavation is complete. The tower crane base has been mounted in a rebar foundation cage. Forms still need to be built and concrete poured around the rebar.

Big temporary crane removing equipment from the site and the concrete pour looks to be substantial!

The owners of those two independent used car lots must be salivating.
