Yeah, what an awesome space. Was this funded by s.37 funds?

Can't think of many other elevated public spaces in the city; pretty neat.

 

[Davidackerman]

They haven't promoted it yet. I wonder if they're having a opening event?

 

[P23]

Bit of a jump from 1954 to 2020 isn't it? Looks like a cool little display though, I'll have to check it out.

I assume they're waiting for predictable nice weather, so maybe mid-August?

I was there today

Some of the steps lead to an office window. They haven't installed doors yet.

 

[JTO]

I've heard there will be a grand opening in the summer, likely tied to the opening of Sephora.

Missing a cafe. The Aroma should move upstairs.

 

[Johnny Au]

The 2020 figure is no longer accurate. The Eglinton Crosstown would open in 2021. Quick, change the metal display!

Missing a cafe. The Aroma should move upstairs.

There is talk of doing an Aroma / Starbucks / Tim's kiosk on the rooftop

 

[Torontovibe]

It needs some kind of restaurant, cafe or kiosk up there.

 

[UrbanAffair]

Or a bar...

Will this wood really last after a couple years of rain, snow, sleet, hail etc? Just wondering with what it was like today.

 

[Skeezix]

Is it wood or some sort of synthetic substitute?

 

[Tulse]

This is a lovely addition to the neighbourhood, but one major problem is lack of shade -- there is no place out of the sun.

 

[Skeezix]

I suppose in the afternoon, as the soon moves across the sky, the tower will provide increasing shade. But on a hot day at noon, one is out of luck.
