I believe the primary render at the top of the page is accurate, it's just showing both phases so it may not be clear. What is being built in phase 1 are the two towers on the right-side of that render.

Am I reading correctly that the park was supposed to start in November, will now start in Spring 2021, but there are still no delays anticipated? They first said completion was in 2023, and now it's December 2022, so I don't think dates are being taken very seriously anyway. Perhaps I don't...

The external lighting is activated tonight, but not uniformly and only half way up.. anyway, thought I’d share: P.S. I should add that the “night mode” on my camera makes the office light look a bit harsh.. in reality it’s all more subtle than what you see in the photo.

December 17 - curtain wall almost complete, just the hoist infills remaining.

Amazon is taking up five additional floors across 120 Bremner and 18 York starting in 2022: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-amazon-inks-deals-for-toronto-office-space-after-rival-shopifys/

The reality is that in the winter people will wait indoors until their bus has arrived, so that can happen in a smaller space (old GO bus terminal) or it can happen in a bigger space (new GO bus terminal). Not to mention that ultimately in both cases everyone ends up in an enclosed space (a bus)...

December 6 - if you look closely you’ll see the crane taking itself apart :)

Agree but the reality is confidence in public transportation is low and could go lower as we get through this winter. Sure, we could take this as the government manipulating a modern bus terminal into something they're doing to respond to COVID, but it's also just a window of opportunity to...

Totally agree - the city charges a nominal fee to use up the road, but there seems to be no mechanism to encourage builders to move off of it. Something like a flat fee upfront for 90-100% of the project timeline followed by an escalating fee structure (instead of simply agreeing to an...

I missed the virtual "Open House" that was held for Phase 2 yesterday - if anyone from here attended, was there anything notable?

Portlands/Quayside was mentioned in the Globe article as another option, but I'm sure it's all very preliminary at this point. It's not just about transit connectivity though, it's also about having enough hotels, restaurants, the option for walk-in traffic for games from nearby residents, and...

Probably the most significant city-building development this city would see in the 21st century if this goes through. Agree with the general consensus that the only replacement for the SkyDome could be another ballpark or a public park. Having said that, really hope the Quayside/Portlands idea...

November 17 - crane going down, panels filling up.

Existing GO bus terminal to be demolished in December 2020, Phase 2 to start early 2021, Phase 1 occupancy expected Q1 2021. COVID is pretty much irrelevant to this project - full steam ahead! CIBC SQUARE COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE – NOVEMBER 26 In early 2021, construction to support Phase II of...

November 8 - looks like the PATH connection is ready to open in time for the winter. Not a good connection to the system in general with all of the grade changes, but indoor access to Longos, Starbucks and a dry cleaners will be very nice for 16 York/ICE workers and residents. The sign notes...

Following up on @reteequa's post, today they have started closing up the elevator shaft with glass, going from the bottom up.
