Buddy at CIBC just told me their the lead tenant they got a whole presentation.

Wow, what an exciting day today is. 2020 is so soon. I don't love their logo, but an ugly logo was to be expected. I'd rather see some not amazing logos on the top of a couple amazing buildings than no buildings.

Funny how no one mentioned how the GO terminal will fit into this schedule.

The empty heads at Metrolinx are figuring out the details in another business case.

So how do people think this will impact Commerce Court? It's obviously a huge loss for them. I hope no re-cladding project in order.

Hope they'll do some interior technological updates and market towards the fintech sector.

Maybe something similar to MaRS? The location is perfect for cross-collaboration and experimentation, much like how MaRS benefits from being beside the hospitals and U of T.

Great news overall.

Hmmm, could this be a hint for a potentially elaborate night lighting plan?

Nah, more like Del Duca's schedule for a photo-op.

I think so - though it has been around prior to this announcement I think.

Actually some of the documents on the Dev App site are updated recently - particularly regarding work on the Metrolinx terminal - see Mar 1 Cover Letter

I am feeling the logos. Without it, I would think it is a condo. Every commercial building downtown has some sort of corporate logo or branding on it

Yah, that is what I was thinking too.

Even if CIBC is not the most visually appealing logo, it is well-recognized, which I think helps a lot.

Agree that there should be some logo (who wouldn't want it) - just not particularly sold on how it was implemented (seem to suggest it done KPMG style).

CIBC is so spread out and was scrambling for space where ever they could find it over the past couple years. I just wonder if this going to cause a greater work from home push to try and cram as many employees as possible into the two new buildings.

Isn't there supposed to be a new bus terminal in this project to replace the aging one at Dundas? There was no word on that. Hopefully it didn't fall through.
