That food hall gives me London (UK) vibes.

Well the image shows a proper food hall. All too often Toronto calls something a food hall for marketing purposes but it ends up nothing more than a shopping mall food court ..... like that disappointment in Union Station.

Union Station calls the Food Court the Food Court (and while there are some run-of-the-mill places there, there are also better than average ones).

Just came across these renderings. Not sure if they’ve been posted yet:

Wow beautiful rendering of the restoration and the colour contrast.
Very impressed!

Anyone know if they will be cleaning the original bricks? In the renderings the bricks look a lot more yellow

I think it's just a rendering quirk as the building was reported as being built with "brown brick"- but otherwise, I hope not- the patina gives the existing buildings some subtle variegations and texture.
