It makes it look like there is too much furniture in the space, like a furniture showroom.

Definitely looks like it's missing something now. For a project that saw minimal VE though, this isn't the worst decision—if that was the reason at all

hi, this photo has resonated with me ever since I saw it. Would you be willing to share the specs on the capture? What lens was it taken with? What position from the CN Tower?

Beautiful.
Somehow captured two image reflections in a glass panel.

Seems like news has been quiet re- the food hall. Are there any plans for an opening?

They are aiming for Spring 2023.
