Crane was being assembled today. I'm really glad this project is going ahead, and the 28-storey one is done across the street. This is literally a 2 minute walk to Television City site. Pretty hard to approve 33 and 28 floors, but deny 40 and 30 on the same street.
Also, one of those huge piledriver things was drilling a huge hole at the front of the old car dealer lot along King Street next to this project. They've been using that site for construction materials, but today's activity actually looked like construction prep work. Anyone know if Vranich bought that site, and what the plans are??

But these two are off Main st. The other two taller and in the durand neighbourhood. The article in the Spec today made it seem like 30 and 40 stories is far from a sure thing.
New mobile crane on site now to start lifting the building's crane pieces into place. Currently unloading counter weights, but I expect it to grow fast when they start stacking the pieces today. They have enough on site now to probably lift the pieces of the building crane over the height of Homewood today. Pictures to follow, but need a place to host them.
The crane was assembled on the weekend. It's super short though. I guess they're gonna keep adding to it as the building gets taller like they often do in TO.

The crane is likely located where the future elevator shaft will be.
You can see in the render below that the north east corner of the building isn't perfectly squared off, so my guess is the crane will fit into one of these recessed corners.

Hopefully the commercial units get rented. It's getting sad seeing 150 main with empty store fronts
I'm still nervous on this one. I know the detailed drawings show white and light blue glass being used, but Vranich hasn't built anything that's not butt-ugly. I wish we had true full renderings.
Also, seeing that back NE corner facade has me hoping for development on the parking lot beside it to hide that blank wall.
