Original and reinstalled façade at Residences of the Royal Connaught by Joe, on Flickr

Gotta say, they did an excellent job putting the facade back up. Matches up seamlessly with the old one.

Thanks for ^^^ pic, interested in the foreground details with the Reimar container (is that at PCL one beside it) and the fencing. Both of those names would suggest large commercial development. Are we that far off of another project start (FW Woolworth building perhaps)

I heard there's going to be movement with the development of the Kresge Building. A sales centre is supposed to be built on that lot from what I gather.

They've been ramping up construction again after what appeared to be a little bit of a slow down on the site. In the past few days tons of glass storefronts have been installed, as well as a bunch of new precast on the addition. They've also ripped up and re-poured the sidewalks on John and King. I can't really tell right now, but it seems like they might be moving forward on their section of Gore Park early. At this point it's hard to tell because there's still a lot of clutter on site. Here's some photos of the precast installations over the past two days.

Update from this morning. They should be done installing precast on the addition by next week.

Walked by earlier, they have a big Christmas tree lit up in the lobby but it's still fenced off. Also looks like a few model suites done on low floors, lights were on but no body home.

That rooftop addition to the east wing is not looking promising

Properly lighting a building is a bit of a science...

HamiltonBoyInToronto · #**1936** Posted **Dec 4, 2016, 7:48 PM**

I walked by at night when it was lit up and the glass was installed on the main floor commercial spaces - have to say it looks really nice and is changing the feel of the area drastically

Here's a new model that shows the new penthouse addition...

Wow that really shows just how much higher the tower beside it will be. Has there been any news about when that project will break ground lately, or will it be in Connolly style purgatory for a good long time?

matt602 · #**1939** Posted **Dec 8, 2016, 4:50 PM**

If I had to guess I'd imagine it'll get built quick. These guys are pretty on the ball and I've heard from many sources that they're selling quick.

I heard it's sold out. If they announce the new tower, I'd like to put a down payment on a unit but I want to be on a higher story with more of a view.
