Joe Cressy says "I allocated..." as if all if this is his personal achievement.

Let's hope they develop that silo site ASAP before it all comes crumbling to the ground...maybe some kind of museum?

Those old silos were built with tons of steel reinforcement. They're not going to crumble to the ground anytime soon. They'll keep until a decision is made on what to do with them.

Cape Town's Mocaa?
Can someone call Heatherwick for opinion here..

^ I've always thought that a museum dedicated exclusively to sound would be kind of cool. Could incorporate the physics/physiology of sound, display audio technology from past to present, recreate natural aural habitats, and also incorporate artistic audio installations such as those of Janet Cardiff. There could also be a sonic/music element--maybe bring in Brian Eno or other ambient style musicians for that aspect. It definitely wound NOT be a popular music or hall of fame type of facility. Anywho, just a thought...

A booze museum. Should be popular and leaseable and a reason these silos were built.

^ Not a bad idea. Given the explosion of craft beers, hard liquour offerings and Niagara wineries... might be a destination. Lots of sponsor/stake holders would chip in. Not sure who generates the business plan but I kinda like the idea a lot.

Throw in some cross border history during prohibition and you got a booze museum.

 

[Edward Skira]

A museum dedicated to UT or at least to me! I worked for Canada Malting here for three summers back in the day.

+1 for the Boozy Musée!

 

[adHominem]

La Musée des Booze-arts, or La Boozée for short

Given the proximity to the lake you could also do a booze cruise!

Those Silos are eyesore to the waterfront
Toronto lacks travel-to-see landmarks at the waterfront already, those silos must be thrown to the bush somewhere far away from the waterfront.
