Why are they sooooooooooo slow with this one?

it seems like it will take ages before we see anything street level

I doubt this will be at street level till spring. Maybe by summer they'll have the podium done. I'm just thankful we've seen the last summer with this hole scarring the downtown.

Reported by Urban Toronto.

1 Bloor will be the first in North America to use the KONE Jumplift elevators.

"KONE has developed an advanced self-climbing elevator, the KONE JumpLift, which increases safety on the construction site, improves cost-efficiency and speeds up construction work."

A massive pour is expected in the coming weeks. Photos courtesy of UT.

You can have it if you like.... many of us keep wishing that it and the other '70's one across from it would disappear!

Innsertnamehere · January 9th, 2013, 05:29 AM

I've always liked it. The other tower in the picture is free for the taking though.

Skyscrapercitizen · January 10th, 2013, 10:57 AM

The other is bad, but the brown one is lovely!

The "big pour" is happening this Saturday (thanks to ED007Toronto for the info).
