Quick photos of the entrance to the community centre that will be located on the second floor of the building. Also of the retail spaces at the north east corner. Maybe my hopes for an independent coffee shop or brunch place will materialize. Finally at Farm Boy which was moderately busy.View attachment 455775View attachment 455776

Another 'learning commons' or the like. Ugh. Grossly over-done concept, and almost always done badly too.

Look at that space, what there makes you think, "Wow, I really want to read a book here?" or :"This is the cool spot to hang w/my friends" These phrases will surely be said by just about no one.

Not a good use of finite space.

Imagine having glass flooring in that cantilever section. Besides no privacy, it would be a scary experience living there.

Although the glazing is not curved in this section, the panels are, which is a nice touch.

It's too bad Daniel's Lighthouse (West Tower) spiral didn't get this kind of prominent visual treatment. It's so subtle + the crappy spandrel that it's so drab. The pattern here is not that exciting, but at least you won't miss it.

Not much of an update from the other members pics but figured it wouldn’t hurt to post them.

^ If the rendering is true, once the next floor to be poured here for the inset portion of the podium (almost like a pedestal for the tower)... will be followed by the first tower floor.

The inset part of the podium may be 4 floors, so 2 more inset floors, then tower floor.

A few recent pics. This hawk was hanging around harassing pigeons for a few days but appears to have found a different roost during the storm.

And the last pic is the recent conc pour still emitting enough heat to melt snow.

Wow, that’s a brave bird. Great pictures!

That's how it looks to me as well.
