The crane went up three weeks ago at the future site of
The Modern, a 17-storey, 343-unit glass and steel condo tower currently slated for 2011 completion.
Designed by
Du Toit Allsop Hiller Architects, the project was taken over by
Empire Communities in 2008 after its original developer ran into financial difficulties.
Du Toit Allsop Hillier describes the building as being "slightly angled to provide better access to sun and views, while establishing a generous public entry plaza addressing the corner."
