Oh okay! They are also trying to get the buildings LEED certified though too aren't they?

Can't wait to see how that glass box looks when its finally unveiled and how it looks at night.

Should be good.

Yonge Street Early Friday Night

Nice pics of L Tower which will be Toronto's first building over 200m east of Yonge Street.

caltrane74 · #**6691** Posted: **Apr 28, 2012, 12:40 AM**

Never thought about that before.

Nouvellecosse · #**6692** Posted: **Apr 28, 2012, 12:45 AM**

It will only be the 2nd 500+ footer (152m) after Minto on Eglinton. X2 is also currently under construction but L is further along.

The whole eastside of Yonge downtown could do with a lot more and taller towers.

Don't forget about One Bloor E.

Holy crap Aura is rising fast. When is the projected month for top-out?

caltrane74 · #**6696** Posted: **Apr 28, 2012, 2:22 AM**

February to April of 2014.

Chadillaccc · #**6697** Posted: **Apr 28, 2012, 3:56 AM**

Holy crap seems like a long time.

On the bright side, it's already quite the sight and it's still got another 2 years of work to go. We have the added bonus of One Bloor being about a year behind this one. So when this one's topping out, One Bloor will be half done. We'll have something big to pre-occupy ourselves with for the next few years at least.

The Mall

Shangri-la's podium doesn't do it for me. It's far too short and has far too much going on. Aura is awful so far.
