A few days later, a little deeper.

Tennessee Ernie Ford voice: "Another day older, and deeper in depth."

(Sorry, my brain made me do it.)

St. Peter don't ya call me cause I can't go, I owe my soul to the museum theatre?

China don't ya call me cause I can't go, I owe my soul to this downtown eyesore.

I don't think it makes much sense blaming the Chinese developer who bought an already-designed, marketed, and approved plan.

You're taking it too literal. I was just going for the rhyme. It's far too earlier to draw any conclusion here except that it's an average P+S design.

Fingers crossed Greenland might switch up the materials a bit, maybe make slight better colour choices. Wishful thinking, but you'd think they would want to make a decent entrance.

Average or not its a 350 million dollar project by a foreign company, and that's good for Toronto

If they apply INDX Condos level materials then this might end up being alright. Otherwise, I remain cautious for now.

Also it's housing a museum, that's pretty cool.

That's just it. Could they go with curtain wall here or continue with the status quo. It won't change the design but, it will drastically improve the aesthetics.

I get it. It's also not a donation.

Friday afternoon, October 14, concrete was being poured into what looked like a crane base - first crane may be up by the end of the week. Sorry - no photo.
