If you go to the last page of this report:

http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2012/mm/bgrd/backgroundfile-49055.pdf

There is a rendering which makes it look like the building fronting Yonge will be replaced by 3 or 4 story glass podium ?

very interesting you noticed that! I'm all for that as well. at least this will add a bit of variation to the tower,

no news on Bay Adelaide north in the pdf eh?

No thank you.

Are we at least getting a facadectomy? I will be sad to see that go.

they will be restoring the building beside it to its original condition in replacement, which looks extremely similar to that. we lose one and then we gain one.

I'm not happy at all to see 118 Yonge demolished.

I'm not happy at all to see 118 Yonge demolished.

I don't think they're just demolishing it. As I mentioned a few pages back, if you look at the pdf, although difficult to see due to the quality, it looks like they are taking 118 Yonge, disassembling it, and mirroring it so as to replace 132 Yonge. So the side currently facing Adelaide will now be facing Temperance. If you look at the second and third pages in the pdf, you can somewhat see it.

Storefronts along the east side of the PATH tunnel underneath the square are all hoarded up.

Found these two renderings from Brookfield Multiplex's website:

So is it going to front onto Yonge Street or no? I'm still a bit confused about this next phase of BAC.

 

[interchange42]

The podium will.

Knowing that, the last rendering posted makes more sense now. Thanks!

I'm curious to see what they're going to do with the historic buildings along Adelaide and Yonge at the moment. I guess this also means the Additionelle store will be torn down. I'm always curious about what is above the store in that building since it's always steaming immensely out its top and it's clear that only the main floor is useable space.

EDIT: I realize there's a staff report, it's just a crappy photocopy and as a result, a bit hard to make sense of.
