Here’s an update video from yesterday with a drone shot!

Fully agree. The seasonal uplighting they set up during winter was actually very nice! I’d love to see a more permanent maybe toned down a bit version of that year round. They build such a beautiful glass atrium they should show it off.

This building is actually a physical manifestation of the parable The Emperor's New Clothes. The naked Danish KING (Toronto).

Is it related to this? https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/toronto-nobu-residences-toronto-156-66m-45s-madison-group-teeple-architects.20587/post-2077016

It would be super wishful thinking if the city timed this water main replacement with the redesign/beautification of Mercer Street. Guessing the reality is they’ll tear it all up, replace the water mains, pave it haphazardly, so they can eventually tear it all up again. Hope I’m wrong

Are the provincial traffic laws written in stone… I don’t get why we don’t make amendments to the law themselves instead of all these half-a*s loopholes that just add confusion.

I imagine Sonic the Hedgehog is gonna love this lobby

You know the floor plan is janky when even the developer fails to sensibly place furniture like the tv stand and kitchen table set

Perhaps I’m the one missing the joke here. But I believe PE was making a facetious joke on @MetroMan leaving the forum, and also the persistent joke that the Apple Store at 1 Bloor E was going to have a mezzanine Edit: Only wanted to clarify so members don’t conflate a joke with a very serious...

I read here that Kohn Pedersen Fox had a hand in designing some of the buildings but removed themselves after serious VE-ing, any chance you saved files of early design ideas?
