Does anyone realize that work seems to have halted over at One City Hall? For weeks on end now, nothing seems to be happening on the site.

I have noticed changes over the past week (blue insulation has been applied to some outer surfaces).

dundas square looks great! the met looks great! can't wait for murano! this is going to be a very exciting summer to watch the city grow.

i often wish i could experience the sensation torontonians less informed than us at UT must feel when they look around and realise 'wow, when did this happen?'

I went by the Met today and had a close up view. The window cladding is particularly good and looks a lot less 'cheap' than that of other condos.

Someone should take a photo from lower Bay Street, showing how RoCP has destroyed the view of the Old City Hall bell tower that has been familiar to Torontonians for over a century.

Thanks, CN.

The Opera House looks really urbane in that shot from the University Ave. median.

Does this offend you equally as much?

Yeah, it was a pretty silly comment to make.

Suicidal Gingerbread Man:

No.

Old City Hall was designed to provide Toronto with an appropriately grand terminus to the view up Bay Street. As such, the view was as much a part of our heritage as the building itself. There aren't many grand buildings in our city that were designed to be seen front-on like this.
