Photoshop and camera angles do wonders. I've been in this lobby. It's small, cold and very basic.

It looks like a dated office from Brampton, with wall sconce lights from Home Depot (on sale). A shame for a building with over 1,000 residents. The least they could do is add a plant or two.

Friday night strolling. Loving the old city vibe and wish the kept more in the city that is ever changing.

Any idea if and when the the crane will come off?

Some time after the Union Station renovation is finished.

You may be optimistic, I suggest it may coincide with the opening of the next section of subway.

The crane came off in 2016. The derrick is coming down soon

So we have been told many times, no doubt sooner or later it will be removed but I will only believe it wgen its actually down. What a lot of incompetents.

The plaza that was left is bad but at least it’s a blank slate where something better can replace it in time as the Esplanade district densifies.

This could very easily be replaced with a large patio that given its location would be in high demand and bring life to this corner. All that’s needed are changes to the lobby layout to include a restaurant on the west side adjacent to those doors and a patio.

You are right. A patio cafe would do wonders here.

Clyde Wagner, the CEO of the City theatres has discussed putting a café (with a patio) into the Sony Centre so this may happen in 2019

The arm is currently extended. Would it be safe to assume this is the biggest one in the City? (Sorry for the quality of the picture)

The BMU extended:

 

[mburrrrr]

They must be real close to wrapping this project up. September? 2018?

 

[Miscreant]

It's been one of the smoother projects in this boom, there is absolutely no doubt about that.

The BMU extended:

they have installed netting underneath the platform so maybe they have found a way of removing it
