Not the first serious incident on this property.
Stan Sipos, CEO of construction company Cielo Properties, tells CTV News the crane was lifting form work to cast a stairwell in the building when the load dropped.
Oops. Sipos is the developer, not the contractor. The contractor is Banyan and I believe this is their first major project in the core. They are also working on a smaller project in Sidney.
The original Customs House:
What a grand old lady! How architecture of the city has gone downhill since then.
