Since 1999, SkyscraperPage.com's forum has been one of the most active skyscraper enthusiast communities on the web. The global membership discusses development news and construction activity on projects from around the world, alongside discussions on urban design, architecture, transportation and many other topics. SkyscraperPage.com also features unique skyscraper diagrams, a database of construction activity, and publishes popular skyscraper posters.
Finally after over a month.. Work has started again on this project. A digger was in there moving dirt all day on the southeast corner of the development.
It appears this project is on the verge of getting moving.
Il admit im a total nerd about this site. Having lived and worked in this area for almost 7 years now I am. Really excited about this project.
There are currently 3 excavators on site right now working from 7 am to when I leave work at 5. They have just started pouring cement on the north side of the site along marine drive.

Now I'm just making a guess but I think the concrete he speaks of is for the hoarding along the sidewalk. Also it doesn't get changed to u/c until there is a crane up and even then it seems to take forever to change the status to u/c
i should be passing through on the 22nd i'll take a look then
I past by the site on Friday. They are excavating and shoring for the parkade. I don't get how that doesn't constitute "under construction" Sure, projects have stopped after the excavation, but they have also stopped at partial structural concrete, glazing, etc...
I went by on Saturday evening. They have lots of work to do. Excavation has basically just started. I wouldn't imagine we see a crane until early 2013.
Looks like any concrete pouring would be just be shotcrete for the the excavation wall shoring, at this point, and not for the actual construction of the building.
I was driving over the Arthur Laing during last week's hot weather and the odour from the transfer station was obvious even as far away as the bridge. I predict a flood of complaints the first summer residents occupy Marine Gateway.

Aren't they installing some sort of smell mitigation system?
(This is in the public domain. I downloaded it from the Marine Drive Gateway website when the project was first proposed. They provided links to these studies as a means to show that they had covered all their bases).
I actually live only 2 blocks away from the site, so every time I go to work or out I walk by, hehe. Can't wait until the structures themselves start to rise!
