Phase 2 is the other half to this building that is currently occupied by the existing hospital.

Wasnt like that upon installation

In the above image posted by rdaner in April 2012, we can see that it was not too dirty upon installation. Comparing with rdaners photos from January 7th, posted a page or two back, it is clear that this thing got dirty fast

And what I assume is demolition to make way for phase 2.
I wonder if the parking lot next to the demolition is part of it. All of my parking spots are slowly being taken away. First Lumiere, then the Sick kids research tower and now hopefully not this one.
Who knows, unless the new Ontario Government office tower on this site goes ahead right away (and actually, it looks like it's a fair ways off) you'll probably get a larger parking lot here.

These are probably the most accurate renders in the thread.

9 March 2013: I'm really fond of the way the concrete "bunker" look contrasts with the aA towers. Seriously. I don't like the glazing though...

This has to be the ugliest new building in Toronto in the last few years.

Indeed. It kind of detracts from Burano in my opinion.

It is sort of growing on me. I'm going to reserve judgement until its finished and I see it in person.

27 April 2013: I still like this building because it serves as a relief from all the glass streetwall in the area:
And it makes me think more textured concrete--retro Brut--style buildings should make a comeback.
It also reminds me of my old workplace--Chabanel Street "chic."

FYI, clinics and labs are moving into the new building beginning Monday, May 13, with patients at the new site as of May 27. The old building will be turned over to the contractor in June for demolition for Phase 2.

Just think of all the "chicks" the residents on the lower floors of Burano are going to get to see now!
