My only complaint is that I'd rather they had used a more vibrant color for the metal cladding than grey.

Well then, you'll just have to take more drugs, won't you, Mr. ... um .... "Crystal Junkie"!
I think the interior garden at the Sheraton works rather well because it's an extensive architectural as well as landscaping feature in the heart of the building, covering three floors ( four, really, if you include the swimming pool and kitchen herb garden level ). The original design for the interior gardens at Sherway Gardens was another major landscaping success. Slinging a few trees around for effect - marooning them on roofs, in particular - like some sort of mad interior decorator slinging cushions and throws around an apartment, is a cliche.

Bridgepoint from my POV looking mighty fine!

Alas, if only they can keep the half round - having the cake and eating it too...

I am also going to miss the original Bridgepoint Health. That half round has been such a familiar and iconic building overlooking the DVP.

Will it definitely be torn down, or is that still a question?
It's coming down. Its interior is completely unsuitable for a hospital these days: it's unretrofit-able apparently.

I'm not surprised -- the rooms are very small and low-ceilinged.
Is there some other structure replacing it? I really wish that the new Bridgepoint building was built there, rather than jutting out so far into the valley.

If the new Bridgepoint was built there, where would they stick all the patients and staff while they're demolishing the old building - have them camp out in the Don Valley for a couple of years?

I didn't say my wish was actually achievable...

Take a look at the front of the old Jail building, now that it has been cleaned up. Truly, a delight to behold.
