^Interesting pit. . . I've probably walked by that site more than a few times in my life. . . the soil conditions are quite a bit different than Chicago. . . good to see all that vacant land down there get used up. . .

Even in Edmonton....1bdrms downtown start at $225,000 now....


But for $179,900 youre getting around 450 sq ft, a box!
i think developers want to sell more condos for less, the sell less condos for more money.

The Toronto market has huge demand for Condos bigger then almost everyone but it has an equally huge supply. Thats why prices are cheap to some.

We have so many parking lots in Toronto, it's a never ending job building skyscrapers.

I'm certainly excited about this one....I visited the sales center last fall right before they tore it down. I wish we had something like this in downtown Dallas, where I live!

This is one of my favorite projects right now in Toronto. Apparently it will take over 1 year to build the podium on this building as it will contain a mall and sports complex and video screens (a.la Times Square/Dundas Square). This new downtown square will have a crowd capacity of over 5000 people and will be a great place to celebrate Raptors wins and Leafs wins (don't laugh) The towers which are the part I am waiting for will be 186 Meters tall. The glass installation permits have been approved and we should see some movement above ground shortly.

This is from the PCL website:

Latest from PCL:

Current Progress (as of Feb 12/08)

The Air Canada Centre (ACC) temporary ramp is complete, commissioned and in use by the Air Canada Centre. Four tower cranes have been erected and the project has started pouring ground floor slabs after finishing the 6-floor below grade excavation program just before Christmas. Major mechanical and electrical equipment has been ordered and curtain wall approvals have been finalized and are in production. Tower window wall approvals are slated for early 2008. We will begin demolition of a portion of the temporary ramp in March 2008 followed by the remainder of the ramp in the summer of 2008, allowing the remaining floor slabs pouring sequence above the ramp to begin. The project is continuing with tendering the finishing trades.
Here are some more recent pictures:

Alex, here's a pic by CGM over at Urbantoronto, it's from July, so a little bit dated, as they are now up to about the 7th floor of the podium....podium will eventually be 10 floors, then two towers of 44 storeys, and 40 storeys above that...the building on the left is the Telus Tower, an office tower, under construction...
