American Block Redevelopment | 3 fl | U/C

[REnerd]

Although it looks like it's being done a bit casually, some guys have been cleaning out the second and third floors of the American Hotel Block (Queen St side) for the last couple of weeks.  The plastic air tubes sticking out from the windows make me wonder what they're blowing out into the street.  I assume that not much can be done on this project until plans for a tenant on the main floor have been firmed up.  As far as I can tell, no building permits have been issued yet.

Those plastic tubes are usually indicators of asbestos remediation.  There is likely a big fan sucking air through a filter and exhausting onto the street.

Just my guess from seeing these in action once before.
