The current signage adds a colourful vibrancy to the city's nighttime skyline. RBC-Dexia will only add to that. I'm all for the logos.
As an aside, I think it may have been mentioned on UT before, but is Toronto the most logo-ed skyscraper city on the continent?
Given that the retail would face the Ritz-Carlton lobby/driveway - I would expect a high end clothing or jewelery store to open up in that retail location.
Right now there is:
1. First Canadian Place (once had the highest signage on any building)
2. Scotia Plaza
3. Canada Trust
4. Commerce Court West
5. RBC Centre
6. Bank of America
The stacking plan shows other than RBC, Fairmont Raffles Hotels (new merger?) are going to have their offices in this tower as well ...
although RBC Centre is physically attached to Simcoe Place on the site plan, the ground floor plan shows no grade level connection between the two buildings, I guess the connection will be through the underground concourse level ~
Screw the logo. What I really want to know is: will it have an RBC ATM? I can't find the damn things anywhere.
Is it wise, though, to have opening windows in an office building in this economic climate?
