Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

[Richard White]

This is clearly a pop-up and connected to the 'exhibit' on Sir John a MacDonald plaza immediately in front of Union Station. This is sponsored by Louis Vuitton and associated companies.

I get that but even still it will be interesting to see whether this will flop or not. It will be a great way of telling what shops work best at Union.

Saw this in Union at around 630 am. I wonder how many people will actually shop there given their price point and the clientele passing through the station?

An "interesting" contrast with the shabby ceiling situation.

I strongly doubt that LV are expecting huge sales at Union - it's there to provide visibility and is tied into the 'exhibit'. It is part of an advertising campaign to raise 'brand recognition'. Whether it sells lots or nothing is not any sort of test of what kinds of stores will work at Union.

I can't believe that this project still isn't finished.

Are we building the Sagrada Familia?

Bondfield/City of Toronto would tell you that several more people go through Union daily, so it's a much more complex project, due to people walking nearby and stuff.

And we at UT would know not to buy that garbage excuse from Bondfield, the contractor who seems to suffer from never ending delays with 90% of their projects.

Love the reference. But if we were building the Sagrada Familia, we wouldn't have taken short cuts like abandoning the green roof.

Frankly, work in Union seems to be moving TERRIBLY slowly recently and they are clearly running well behind (the latest) schedule.

Slowly? I thought it stopped.

We ever get a date on when the food court is supposed to open?

It will open in 2045.

^ I was walking beside the Bay Concourse construction area during the day today and heard noise behind the hoarding so that would suggest it hasn't stopped.

Yep, no kidding. I've noticed this myself but wasn't sure if it was just me. This bloody reno. I tell ya. Just aches on.

At this point I feel like the "food court" will be revealed to be an elaborate piece of performance art or some kind of social experiment to see how long commuters will believe that one day they will be able to get a Big Mac in a flooded train station basement.
