I think it would still be very wasteful to tear down the Chelsea at this point in time. I am however quite excited to see the new Delta Toronto
The same can be said of the entire downtown core. I have no problem with this area simply being an extension of that. Though the area doesn't really feel like a part of the core right now, once everything is built out, including the Aquarium and the office tower at 16 York, we're going to have some nice little intersection here.
With all the business people and travellers moving into this neighbourhood, I expect to see the retail populating the ground floor of Infinity to start going higher end. I'm hoping that whatever might one day replace Hoops will take advantage of the outdoor patio, as it does bring some decent life to the street. I'm also eager to see how the patio at e11even will affect the area.
Toss in a couple of hotdog vendors and a dude playing guitar and this area will feel just as "vibrant" as anything other place in the core.
Building a boulevard of world-class dreams
On Bremner Boulevard, Toronto's hubris is infectious. Someday all this construction will end, but right now, Bremner is the eye of a hurricane of investment, where every pit in the shale is fertile ground for a new castle of glass.

Yeah thats sketchy, it also shows Infinity-3 as one big slab east-west across the previous phase, and nowhere does it mention the new aquarium.
Are they only working on the hotel for now? I was really looking forward to another office tower here.

This area isn't supposed to be charming. It is literally an extension of the financial core, and will be just as 'charming' or 'vibrant' as any other part of the financial core. What's the problem?
