April 21 2011: Lower Simcoe Street view of bottom level construction progress at the Infinity3 and ÏCE condo tower construction sites

 

Lower floor poured: The giant pit between York Street and Lower Simcoe Street is starting to fill in, as construction of underground levels at the ÏCE Condos and Infinity3 Condo projects moves along. Five construction cranes are now working on the site — up from the three that I mentioned in my February 25 2011 post. Below are some photos I took of the construction progress on Thursday.
