Geared to a young demographic that can’t live without music and wi-fi, the building features 98 units that boast 9-foot ceilings and the convenience of built-in wiring for the latest technology —  ipod docking stations, pre-wired speakers, wireless Internet connectivity and high definition television.

According to the Sync Lofts website, 85 % of the units are sold, but 7 different layouts remain available at prices ranging from $466,900 for an 819-square-foot 2-bedroom on the 5th floor, to $799,900 for a 1,319-square-foot 2-bedroom + den, a southwest facing top floor suite with a 40-square-foot balcony on the lower level and a 251-square-foot terrace on the unit on the upper.

Below are more photos I snapped yesterday showing the building and part of the crane removal process. Several more artistic renderings of the building can be viewed on the Sync Lofts project page of the Tact Design website.

Traffic on Queen Street was halted intermittently while trucks moved into position to pick up the crane segments

 

The portable crane holds a segment of the disassembled crane aloft as the flatbed truck backs onto Carroll Street

 

The crane removal crew stands by as … 

 

… the flatbed truck moves into position beneath the suspended crane segment 

 

The crane segment is slowly lowered onto the truck …

 

… which will transport it to its next job at another Toronto construction site

The Queen streetcar runs past the building 24 hours a day, while easy access to the northbound Don Valley Parkway is close by

This building view from the southwest offers a glimpse along Queen Street East toward Broadview Avenue (the building with the triangular brown roof is situated on the northwest corner of Queen & Broadview, just a 2-minute walk away)
