I would not be surprised if Quantum Coffee ends up having a very long lineup on its grand opening just like with Prince Street Pizza.

Great! It is a big day at The Well as there is a big push on to get ready. Quantum Coffee is now open as is the main entrance to the Konrad/Brain Station space. Also the trees have gone in along the west end of Wellington. Taken 10 November.

Some detail photos of the ongoing work at The Well. First the finish cladding being installed on the angled supports for the overhang portion (north end) of the south-west corner building of The Well - across from from the Draper Street park.
Brick workers on the job, outside of Indigo
The Konrad and Brainstation office lobby
And as a side note - the former Brainstation entrance at King and Spadina - directing people to the new location:
The Shoppers Drugmart Store - a glimpse inside and it looks very close to opening - furniture and fixtures are in and lots of shelves with product already set up.
Shoppers is directly below the Indigo store - this picture shows their positions relative to each other.

I love this development! My only regret is that the cinema got scratched but then I remember that the building at the southwest corner of Spadina and Wellington will likely be redeveloped at some point and could easily incorporate a cinema! Lol

Btw the restaurant on the 38th floor is called ‘aera’ and is opening on 17 November. Pix from The Well’s IG.

Hold on.............you want to demolish this Heritage-Listed, 118 year old building for a cineplex?
Hard pass!
Let the building stay.
I quite like movies too, but I would first prioritize restoring a couple of heritage one-screeners if possible. Thereafter, we need at least one, and preferably 2 competitors to Cineplex, ideally one in the Arthouse space, so we can get better product variety and better cinema experience for the dollar.
That said, cinemas are essentially windlow-less boxes, so ideally, they would go underground; what we don't want is to trade precious heritage for them.

You know, Market square is a really great cinema, think it's like 8 screens like 50 ft underground. Best part is that theres no cell service. So theres' no way for someone to get a phone call LOL
That said, My opinion on heritage is this.
If it's that important to keep, then it must be a public museum, we shouldn't be gatekeeping beautiful heritage behind private property

Current planned opening date is March of next year.
In the meantime, other parts of The Well are continuing to open up. The Lower Ground concourse level has basically opened up for access - one can now walk from the Plaza area at the west end through to the stairs at the east end. While the Shoppers is not open yet, the hoarding is down. Some photos:
