I'm liking how much of a wide berth this one is giving to the street. Hopefully they don't clutter up that extra sidewalk space with overly-large plantings like the Summit building next door to the east. The trees are nice to have, but the planters are huge!

Surely that's not there to stay, is it? That would be very unfortunate.

Totally unexpected from a right-leaning mayor. Fair, balanced, sharing..? In my opinion, if there's ever a time when fees should be used locally, it's when there's a local development being built. It just makes sense. The secion37 funds for allowing developers to surpass density rights...

There are aspects of these that I like, but the tops of the towers look pretty bad to me.

Sure it did :)

Gehry has been quoted in a few articles that the pieces of paper at the base of the model are a real work in progress. They're literally pieces of paper at this point but we can expect to see some change to them over the iterations this project goes through before its final design.

Judging by the angle of your first pic, you may have been standing just to the right of me.

That wasn't aimed at you of course caltrane. I know that you do like this building for more than just its (final) height. And by the way, you're doing a real kick-ass job with all your construction update photos.. :)

-1 Ridiculous. It's so easy to throw out the legitimate concerns and opinions of others when you're blinded by height (see how easy it is?).

Oh come on. Deep End isn't so 'solo' on this. There's no way this thing is going to turn around and become a beauty at this point. As I've said before, this thing doesn't have much going for it in terms of design or details other than it's height. What's ugly about it now will continue to be...

I don't see any info at Studio Libeskind website stating it's at 7PM. Would like to take the g/f to see it but need to make sure they start at 7pm. Can anyone confirm?

Red Mars, an interesting angle and one that I've never seen before. Kudos. But what a total sea of green!

This question has probably already been asked, but what exactly was wrong with the rails that caused this need for replacement?

SkyJacked, thanks for the great pics and welcome to the forum. I imagine as this gets taller and the width (north south) gets more and more narrow that your view directly down the tower will be quite striking. Not that it's already, I'm sure :)

Haha, right on!

A couple of people have pointed out that they really don't like the three towers and especially since they're of relatively similar heights. When I first saw this proposal I was put back, thinking to myself that Toronto has dozens of twins, as do many cities around the world, and now it's...

My goodness is this one ever moving fast! I know it's a small site but didn't the RCMI take about twice as long to get to ground level?

That's correct. There's a significant portion of Canadian Internet traffic that runs through 151 Front. It's Canada's premier Data Hotel.

Does anyone know when the City plans to replace the asphalt sidewalk with concrete along Queen Street West, just east of Bathurst, south side? Where the fire happened about 4 or 5 years back. Come to think of it, that entire strip, north and south sides, need a complete redo.

Does anyone know when phase III demolition begins?
