Betting this not-loved project turns out pretty good.. at least as park closure and background height for the (mixed reviews) projects next to the water. (forgive skyline geek comment).

Heartbreaking that the beautiful living trees surrounding this lot have been destroyed by the builder. So surprising that the City allowed this to happen. Hoping that they will be replaced. Yet still their Spirit is irreplaceable.

I noticed this week that they've demo'd the old FedEx building.

By the builder maybe, but on behalf of the city, definitely. The street is being realined and it will run where the trees were.

A mural installation has been set up along the hoarding of this project. SMT with the scoop:

Greenland and PATCH Project Bring Mural to Toronto’s East Bayfront | UrbanToronto

The hoarding around construction sites in Toronto can be very drab, but some developers are making the best of the situation by installing public art on the temporary walls. The Greenland Group's Lakeside Residences is just one such site, where Pam Lostracco's 'Reflections' is now in place.

The installation looks great - just wish they would complete it on to Lower Sherbourne - there‘s still a big gap and it looks like this will sit dormant for quite a while with the stoppage of construction. Not a pretty site. Did they really need to be so quick to destroy the beautiful trees surrounding the site. Much more beautiful than this installation...
