For a second I had to figure out if that was a photo of Toronto or not lol

Awesome photo Razz. And good point Coruscanti, ROCP and The Met aren't exactly landmarks. When you factor in Razz's unique viewpoint it does confuse the eye a bit. The curtainwall section is looking quite nice and from that vantage point, hoping the main curtainwall section at the top of the tower will appear to emerge right where ROCP and Burano's rooflines cut off in the background

Going to be massive.

Enough already guys & gals. Do you think we could now get back to Aura?

Going to be massive.

I noticed that they have closed the parking ramp at the Delta - is this for re-furbishing or is this to connect the two structures below grade? I am also wondering about how the Aura refers to their "Subway Level" yet I do not see a connection to the College Street station from the TTC end of things. Any ideas on this?

 

[interchange42]

It will connect to the TTC via College Park.

Really? Seems to me it would be very difficult to book rooms when you can't offer parking. There are a couple ramps but the one is exit only I believe. Must be very temporary.

They may have arranged and offered parking at the lot beside the hotel.

Please tell me either (a) you're joking or (b) the construction people were joking!

That was just me and my sense of humour upon noticing that after two more floors at 10 feet, they went back to two more at 9 feet.

It's such an imposing yet beautiful structure, I can't wait to see the finished product! Does anyone know the current floor count?

OK... lets be honest. The floor height difference is very visible on the open floors, but can you really tell that some floors are shorter and some longer now that the glass is up? I know it's a bit weird, but there must be a good reason for it... mustn't there?
