Friendly reminder that objects such as construction cranes are "it", not "she". I will always make a point to remind about this Sleepy

It's interesting to see how early the crane went up: it looks like there is still quite a lot of excavation work to do, based on the photos. Or is that just the ramp to get to the bottom?

I'm a bit surprised how tall it is given the height of the building

The boom has to clear the tower beside it.  don,t forget they swing on their own in the wind.  The boom travels well into the foot print of the building beside it.

There is another thread called "345 King St W Redevelopment" .I feel that it should be merged into this thread.

Walked by yesterday for the first time in a while and was surprised to see pretty much the entire building (I believe) was shaped out already in I-beams! The sense of scale is there now Smile
