Glad they caught whatever had to be fixed, there has been two crane collapses in Toronto this summer. They can be deadly.

Based on what they did, I assume there was a mechanical problem at the top of the crane, maybe a motor or a gearbox or something similar. It took them a few days to do the repairs after they got the crane down, but the frame was never disassembled.

Floor addition has started up again this past week (for those interested in the webcam).

It's kitsch, but does manage to work next to the original factory. I like it.

Personally not a fan of this one. As soon as EIFS is involved it looks cheap in my opinion. Beige makes it even worse. It would have looked so much better if they had just used a brick panel system to carry the brick look up 15 floors. I don't like curved windows, but if the had to include them I would have preferred it to be carried all the way up instead of just a couple floors in the middle. They actually look decent on the second floor with the keystone. Density is a good thing but that is about it on this one.

It's not EIFS, it's painted precast concrete.
I'm not a huge fan but it's OK. Better than DTK in my eyes.

They should have built a shirt factory - employed people, fought hard against the creation of a union, negotiated a contract with a union then closed up shop to ship the jobs overseas...and then converted the building into Arrow Lofts II

It's not my favourite, but it's not terrible. The original is obviously far nicer, but still. Anyone know what kind of finishes thus units we can expect? Are they going high end?

Based on Auburn's track record, they'll be upper mid-market, similar to the Barrelyards.
