Toronto Portland Commons | 71.7m | 15s | Carttera | Sweeny &Co

Taken 19 November. I find the passageway and glimpse of slanted columns a bit intriguing. Hopefully this will give access to patios and interesting spaces. Oh and a back way into The Well.

Portland Commons on November 20. First some overview photos, followed by some more detailed pictures of the south lobby area, the effect of the sun on the west facade - variations in colour in the vertical window frame sections - just from the sun, and a couple of the Portland Street sidewalk nearing completion.

December 19: A couple of notes. First, more glazing in place, particularly around the top floor and mechanical penthouse areas. The panels on the west facade of the mechanical penthouse are particularly tall. Secondly, the interior floor areas have had the construction debris cleared out - hours of debris being dumped into the large construction garbage bins, quite a noisy process extending late into the night over a number of evenings.

When will the city make Front Street a more grand and attractive street? It's a disgrace now and has been for a very long time.

I don't know how grand the plans are; but Front Street West from Spadina to Bathurst is penciled in for major road resurfacing and several other improvements in 2026.
