Bay Adelaide Centre West Tower (Brookfield, 50s, WZMH)

[taal]

I can't BA2 going up for at least 5 years but definitely not as long as it took BA1 to be built. There just isn't 5 to 10 million square feet available of convertable class I space out there like in the late 1990/early 2000s.

Give it 1 year - no you're right it probably won't be that long.

I think we'll have a very good indication at the end of 2010 - if we're not looking too bad then it might be sooner or later. Sublet space is the largest concern now ... tenants stuck in long term contracts that want out.

If anything, BA2, should be taller than than BA1. Make up for the first one's shortcomings.

The approval (and plan) is for a tower that's shorter, so we'll all be disappointed.

Height does not equate to good design. I feel a shorter second tower would be fine.

Walking by on Bay Street today, I noticed that the bases of the light standards along Temperance have now been clad in grey granite. It looks great.

I can't overstate how much BA balances the skyline.

Ramako ... that is by far the best postcard view of Downtown Toronto with the curved shoreline in the foreground ... IMO nothing beats the those views from Palace Place + Palace Pier

thanks for sharing all these amazing views ... all the best wishes in the upcoming school year ... I'll look forward to your updates upon your return !!

Yeah, the lighting wasn't very good, but I'm going to go out again when conditions are better.

its amazing how dense everything south of Queen St looks! But we could sure use a lot more tall buildings between Queen and Gerrard...

Great vantage point for that photo.
