It is fairly inoffensive as parking garages goes.

True. But this is Yorkville. This is the Rodeo Drive, 5th Avenue, Ginza of Toronto. Cant have prime real-estate be utilized for car parking.

Well that's a different issue (and I too wouldn't mind seeing it redeveloped) - but even then, it will probably get redeveloped as mostly residential (the site doesn't front Bloor or Yonge), Definitely far from Ginza.

Thar car park should get re-developed pretty soon. What an eye-sore.

Sorry but they just put an addition onto it.

Yeah but don't mean much these days, someone comes with money and a plan and it's history...I'll say 3-5 years/85 stories

I hope it stays. I really enjoy going to the top floor of it and looking around at the skyscrapers when I need to rent a car from there.

Where are those cars supposed to park if it disappears?

In their driveways. And their owners can take public transit to get downtown.

I have been wondering why the scaffolding for the current floor pour doesn't go out to the corners? Is there a reason for it?

They're leaving room for the diagonal bracing which will attach to the corners of the slab below.

I mean, Rodeo has 5 parking garages a stones throw away, so I guess we need more not less. They also have some smaller surface parking lots, which Yorkville does not.

In other word when complete don’t stand in those corners. Kidding of course. I’m sure they will be structurally sound.

Or we stop trying to emulate other cities and do what's best for locals and not tourists?
