That shot of West Harbour looks like something out of Chicago's millennium park!... with a wall of skyscrapers (which are alot taller than ours) border lining the park next to it.. Cool

Nice update finds Cal

great shots!!!!!

From that 1st shot... I've really realized the MASSIVE impact Crystal/Uptown have had in the area!!!... just imagine that pic WITHOUT them

Crystal blue looks pretty much topped off... Floor count?

*Casa looks nice and clean (and new!)

Thanks for keepin us up to date!

Crystal Blu doesn't bother me for a spandrel tower but Uptown's precast so far seems more suited for North York. We'll see once the windows are installed.

Uptown makes a nice counterpoint to 1 St. Thomas, even though the quality is far off from that....

Even though it's short, Crystal Blu if far more visually interesting than Uptown... which looks like it'll be the pudgy one on the block.

I really like how both Crystal and Uptown's podiums match up in height... So they seem more united... Aside from that they're pretty much opposites (aside from sleekness)...

Nice shot of Parade... Anyone know how they will construct the bridge when the second parade tower is so far behind?

...

As for the Bridge and Parade, I think it will be completed on the ground, and hoisted (lifted) into place when the second tower is rising.
