I hear you on this - lobbies are smaller in Chicago and most of NYC. On retail though, this isnt Yonge and Bloor.

WPP does have retail. I am corrected, though the main lobby has none. What retail is going into 85? I heard that it was a fitness centre amenity for the complex.

A tonne of people need a lot of space. That said, the lack of retail is an oxford special: 100 Adelaide no retail Waterpark Place 3 no retail 85 Richmond no retail

I see. I am glad they didny go with a mural.

What do you mean by mural?

Cant do that. Park shadowing on Clarence Square

It's Pelli. While some folks would argue they aren't super innovative, I think it would be hard to argue their execution isn't consistently great ... and Oxford has deep pockets................................

I would actually assume this is related to Metrolinx Track work.

What would you like to see?

This isnt the most recent render? I thought it was mostly retail now. Update: Most recent below. Retail added at the corners, along the front, on L2, and behind the escalators. Looks like it is maybe 50% lobby frontage now? re's the latest.

Oxford needs the density to pay for the park. Park overbuild is $250M.

It was supported unanimously at DRP. Definitely not a redesign.

Different angle of the glass box. You can see here it is actually quite separated from the heritage structure.

Nope. You can keep going if you have an above grade structural permit for residential projects. Hotel may be stopped.

Yeah - you are right- but it's just a entrance to the retail so 5 storeys would be crazy.

Need to see it to lease it ...

I think what I am most impressed with is the fill in of the air conditioner holes in the south tower.

I note they are mocking up exterior paint on the North Tower ....

The folded metal panel on the core looks awesome ...
