So how do you keep a 79 storey building from swaying too much in high winds? At the top you build a 705 metric ton tuned damper that acts like a pendulum to counter act it. #mississauga #Mcitycondos #construction #condos #photography #dronephotography #housing

Looking north the morning of October 29th 2022. While it took several months to build the box adjacent to the highway, the highway was excavated and the box pushed into place occurred over a weekend.

October 29th 2022.  Traffic on QEW was detoured to the Hurontario on and off ramps while the highway was excavated in order to push the box into position. Hurontario was closed during the process to allow free flowing QEW traffic through.

That thing is way too close to high voltage power lines. Better buildings to consider. I've honestly never seen in Toronto a building that close to that size transmission line!

It will probably be a ghost tower. Sold at the peak of the market and when it comes time to pony up the money on closing, worth thousands less. Tough market right now.
