hahaha, I live and work a few blocks away and I still can't be arsed to go out there.

Lucky bastard. I get to Toronto maybe three times a year. When this site goes down I go into serious withdrawal.

Is it zinc?

 

[SP!RE]

I was dying to see it myself haha. But it really is FRIGID outside again today.

Here is the new Union Station entrance. I would've held my camera up over the fencing to give a better idea but a construction worker was eyeing me suspiciously and I chickened out:

Probably because one of his co-workers fell to his death. I wonder if it was suicide or not. They still have not said.

Wow, I really love that cladding, the matte black looks great. Telus, along with RBC are really shaping up to be the surprise knock-outs of this recent round of construction. I really wasn't expecting them to turn out so nicely. Proof that it's all in the details.

 

[SP!RE]

Yeah, the attention to detail on Telus is something almost NEVER seen... I can't even begin to say how impressed I am with it.

I really hope they do indeed build a spire on it!!!

Judging by the modernist architecture, and the renderings, I'd say that a spire would be a surprising and odd development.

Well the renderings did originally include a somewhat tall spire, but they apparently dropped it in the second wave of renderings that were released.
