It's 100% not done in that photo. There are already more segments on it than in the photo, enough to reach the full property.

It looks like the crane is mostly completed when I drove my around 12:30 this morning.
All this condo/apartment construction in the downtown core is amazing. In 2 or 3 years the DTCore will look totally different. Obviously Young, DTK, Charlie, and Drewlo are going to stand out due to their height (25 minimum). To a lesser extent Garment and 100 Victoria too.

I am waiting for someone to announce 50 stories

Just wait, it won't be long until DTK is outdone. And keep an eye on the old GRT terminal, the Victoria/Joseph area, close to the Drewlo development and possibly Charles/Water in the not-so-near future, too. When they said the LRT will be spurring development, they meant it. Investors are patiently waiting to do more ground breaking around these areas.

OK, I must ask - do you have inside knowledge or are you just joking?

At least that's what they said at the sales centre. First time I'm hearing anything about how tall they'll be though!

Some was in the planning stages which could be seen at City Hall, 7th floor I believe, that had a list of proposals. Many were in the Conestoga College area (like 5 or 6 towers) but some extra in DTK that were less than 50 floors but more than 40.
What will become of anything I have no idea. I am not longer at city hall but a different city facility now.
Generally, one must realize that many of these initial plans are never actually created. For various reasons, NIMBY'ism, financing, red tap, market factors. Everything you can think of.
Cory Blumn, who works at city hall, had an amazing YouTube video of what the city would see in the coming years. I can't find it anymore, but believe me, it was amazing.
