So that leaves no Holiday Inn downtown...they'll have to find another property to rebrand instead. I think 1BE is available.

Fencing on the east side had been removed. You can now sit on the Henry Moore and watch workers working overhead...

Aside from the corridor of towers all you see is predominately single family houses, which makes it more sub than urban. Great view though.

It hasn't fattened up, it's just a different angle. It's a pretty crude rendering, so I wouldn't put much faith in it anyway, aside from the massing.

That's just the east end catching up with the rest. Remember that this end had the temporary parking garage ramp that needed to be removed. Once that was done it was at least 7 floors behind.

The sidewalk so far is just concrete with the typical Gehry 'earthquake' pattern (just a staggered grid) as seen with the titanium, bathroom tiles, etc. etc.

Henry Moore's 'Two forms' was uncrated today. The paving around McCaul Street is completed.

that image has changed so that the little plaza is filled in with a more appropriate density. Doesn't look so out of place now.

It is pretty banal... and it's probably a bad sign that they're only showing the backside of the building. From the looks of it, the street side has several setbacks. It appears to be pretty much the same design as before with prehaps a few changes to the facades.

I think it's safe to say that most people writing on this forum are not purchasers of the buildings they are writing about. Most people here are interesting in the buildings going up in this city in general. With so much construction in Toronto at the moment it is understandable that EAST...

I keep hearing the Law & Order theme music when I look a that photo. Great stuff.

I doubt that is what you are seeing. The joining of two units would not change the base structure of the building. The concrete shear walls would stay the same while the interior partitions could be reconfigured, even plumbing stacks cannot be moved. Obviously too early to see any of that.

Or you just need to find a good Ball-B-Q! http://www.canadiandesignresource.ca/officialgallery/wp-content/uploads/2006/04/ballry1.jpg

The Tridel condos at Richmond and Sherbourne were also built over a parking garage. Interestingly all these examples were former commercial properties.

If you don't like modernism you should be looking in Mississauga...

Even the larger units are oddly laid out.

I thought they couldn't get that high there...something about the flight path to Pearson.

No reason for the office to be open if it's cancelled.
