Bay Adelaide Centre 2 (BAC2) Set to Begin This Year

Hi Guys, Some insider information for you that follow closely. I've gotten word online that the 2 phase of the Bay Adelaide Centre Complex will begin later this year, around winter perhaps. Just to remind you all, that when Bay Adelaide Centre 1, began construction in 2006 it was the first major skyscraper (office) to be built in Toronto since the early 90's, and since that point, so many office towers have lanuched and been built.

Like:

RBC Tower - at Wellington and Simcoe
Oxford at Waterpark Place (Another RBC Building)
18 York - PWC (Southcore Financial Centre)
Bremner Tower ( Southcore Financial Centre)
16 York ( at ICE Towers - Cadillac Fairview)
1 York ( Menkes)

Here are the specs on the project from the City of Toronto Website
