The Tenor (10 Dundas St E, Ent Prop Trust, 10s, Baldwin & Franklin)

I think 'Toronto Death Triangle' has a cooler ring to it

Toronto Life square (Star Box)

I visited today inside toronto life square. star Box coffee restraunte now is ready to open.all drywalls has been remove and workers were testing coffee machine. I am wonder it is small place and no where to sit.

 

[whatever]

Signage for Rogers Plus went up today, and the sidewalk was full of big wooden crates for the adidas store (Merchandise? Racks and cash registers and such? Enquiring minds want to know!).

They also removed more panels on the Dundas side, right above the AMC sign, so maybe they're going to do that rack of screens thing after all. It is a weird place for signs tho, it'll be blocking the Future Shop's windows.

I haven't noticed any spots for movie boards outside the building that are a requisite for any movie theatre. If there was any building that should have advertising outside for movies playing in the cinema, this should be it. A screem showing what movies are playing and at what times should be installed on the exterior of the building, even if it was only a board with standard marquee letters.

It's more weird that Future Shop even has windows (most FS stores are windowless boxes). They'd just as soon cover them up themselves with shelves of merchandise or something.

Just like the rendering.

FutureShop doesn't make good use of those windows anyway. The more signage that goes on this sucker, the better it will look. Cover up that awful building beneath!

I went looking for the advertising elevations and found that an updated file does indeed show that signage. Looks like the movie posters will go on those unnumbered spots next to the fans.

Here's a look at the Yonge St. elevation:

That empty air above Franz Hotdogs (now Strata Shoes) is ripe for a nice big mixed used tower (parking/hotel/condo).

Salad King Condos.

I noticed how sad the food court looked when I visited the AMC but looking at the list of food outlets opening there, one can be very hopeful that all these restaurants and the people patronizing them will add the needed colour to this blah place.

LOL! hahahaha!

Funnies aside, I can see a developer buying that old building and the HMV to the South and building a tower above. This real estate is going to get very hot over the next few years. It's completely feasible that this tower could be connected to Toronto Life Square via the food court floor who's northmost wall touches HMV's property line.

I don't see that happening without having to tear down the existing structures and making a facade of the historic Yonge & Gould building. There's no way the foundation of the existing structure is capable of supporting a tower.

Unless you meant a media tower...

 

[MetroMan]

Yeah, I'm talking about gutting the place and keeping the façade. The density allowed along Yonge St. is worth too much money to be kept as it is right now.

I'd hate to lose Salad King, but I'm sure they can be accommodated nearby or even inside TLS.

 

[MetroMan]

I have to say that I'm quite surprised that the Toronto Life Square signs are looking like they'll be the last ones added. For the naming rights sponsor of the building they sure aren't taking advantage of it. TLS is getting lots of press and even viral word of mouth (due to the free AMC movies) and Toronto Life is nowhere to be seen.

 

[MetroMan]

I don't know where else to put this and I don't want to start a topic just for this:

Those escalators on the left there. They lead down to the Eaton Centre and if you keep going straight, you're on the Southbound subway platform.

I recall seeing these escalators boarded off. I thought they were building a paid fare area escalator that would allow you to go in between the Southbound/Northbound platforms without leaving the paid fare area.

Anybody know if this is true?

I thought they were just doing the typical TTC 6 month-long escalator maintenance. They worked on the other escalator so I'm not sure about creating a paid fare area escalator.

 

[Patriot]

Any idea when the art-deco 'Toronto Life Square' sign will be installed vertically along the Yonge Street side? I'm surprised this hasn't been done yet...
