Bay Adelaide is creeping closer to construction. - workers and equipment all over the site today.

The only thing I dont know is whether they are there solely for purpose of bringing down the stump.

Or...something more grand.

Havr they actually started demolition of the stump yet? Or are they still preparing to do so?

caltrane74 · #**444** Posted **Jun 28, 2006, 7:13 PM**

well, atleast something is happening!! Any news on RAC3?

caltrane74 · #**446** Posted **Jun 29, 2006, 8:04 PM**

Not that I know of. Seems to be just a rumour. I havent heard anything concrete or seen anything to validate.

How many days exactly are there untill RBC and Ritz start construction?
I know its in your signature but its said "45 days" for the last few days..i think.

DZ2006 · #**448** Posted **Jul 4, 2006, 1:40 AM**

I have it from a pretty good source (president of a medium-size development company with 4 projects ongoing in Toronto) that the Trump tower will be a no-go. Cancellation will be announced by the end of the year.

WhipperSnapper · #**449** Posted **Jul 4, 2006, 3:50 AM**

Anyone outside of the senior levels of the Trump development group is most likely privy only to partial facts, rumours, and speculation

(I've heard as low as 35% sold with an expected cancellation this fall to - a not as frequent - over 70% with construction around the corner from several well connected industry sources)

Agreed, I would not put any stock in something that is little more then a rumour, just because he is the pres of some mid size company does not make a difference to me. If they were going to cancel, they would probably announce it now because the longer they go after deciding to cancel the more money and time they waist for themselves and others who want to buy in the Trump tower.

Dale · #**451** Posted **Jul 4, 2006, 4:36 AM**

Why the hell would they announce cancellation 'by the end of the year' if they already knew it was a 'no-go' now anyway ?

Ritz/ RBC should start construction this month. - so less than 30 days to go now. When i changed my sig - constructed was supposed to have started in June.- it got pushed back to july for some reason.

As for Bay Adelaide I walked by the site over the weekend. A lot of demolished concrete all over the place. But none of the destruction touched the stump. Looks like just the mini walls bit the dust over the weekend. Still the Murray Demolition equipment is on site ready to destroy the stump.

I think I need to change my sig to - stump demolition underway.

excellent point my friend.

I do not believe this tortured building will die a slow death. it will be quick or it wont happen at all.

In fact I think this building for sure will go up. I mean its a hotel right? ..no a condo primarly? right? - Do you need to have 70% sales to go ahead with a condo hotel? - you can go with less right. - billionaire canadian investor is main backer. What a great way to get your name out there. Especially when your wealth is increasing by leaps and bounds every year.

TOBoy · #**454** Posted **Jul 4, 2006, 11:31 PM**

The project would not get cancelled with over $200 million worth of suites sold. They would at the very least reduce the size of the building then to throw out hundreds of millions of dollars in sales and show that Ritz is a more attractive prject and that Trump cant compete with them. This is not your typical project.

I dont know if anyone has posted this yet, but ROCP III has been revised again. Instead of the 60 and 20 storey tower, it will now be one 75 storey tower at the corner of Yonge and Gerrard. It looks breathtaking from the renderings/plans I've looked at.

WhipperSnapper · #**457** Posted **Jul 5, 2006, 11:24 PM**

^I can't believe it - great news - have to check it out

Great summary Tony

TOBoy · #**458** Posted **Jul 6, 2006, 12:15 AM**

Hey just a side note. Page 28 of the MLSE report shows the mechanical for the MLSE Condos as 610 ft. (186 metres) for the 54 floor tower and 571 ft.(174 metres) for the 50 floor tower.

Element: I relly hope you are serious. That would be fantastic if it does happen

you've seen renderings?!! can we see can we can we can we pleeeeaaaassee

Anyway, this is great news, at the same floor height 75 stories would put it at around 245.5m meaning if built now it would be the 3rd tallerst in toronto! (roof height)

neilioo · #**460** Posted **Jul 6, 2006, 2:08 AM**

Hey Tony, ive noticed that in the diagrams there is only one maple leaf square tower listed, so im assuming both of them will be in one diagram as one building?
Im asking because i figure its about time to do a rendering for them (I started awhile ago but got sidetracked)
