Yea, I've been watching this place slowly die since 2018...its kind of depressing, but, there's been so much opening around it that competes with the businesses that were or already are here.
I miss that McDonalds that was at the food court. (I think theres only...3 shops there now?)
No businesses have moved in...it's a very depressing, windswept, empty pathway and will remain so until either tenants come in, or well..they build a park at the fenced off lot off St. Patrick. (I assume that's under the purview of the City)
I use it sometimes to get to work...it's pretty...
Yea, I seen the lights on these things last night, hows street level looking? I recall there was a lot of work that needed to be done there last time I came over.
I meant industrial as a wide umbrella term for mass produced metal panelling, the other adjectives I used simply reinforced the association I have with seeing this material on this project. (I'm no material scientist...my knowledge base leans more into masonry abd geology)
Of course they wouldnt...
I want to like what I'm seeing, but the industrial, suburban warehouse chic metal panels really ruin the look of this project for me. It makes this place look dystopian and kind of foreboding.
Or the bad thats both the parking lot...and the giant wall of glass that meets you as soon as you get to the "Goode"
(I don't particularly like either project)
How old is that render, if its using Ryerson University's branding? Seems like the wrong render to base this change off...unless they didnt render the adjustment?
EDIT: Nevermind...I see.
Well, this render suggests no such setback...if not a minimal amount.
Actually...the render you showed...
It's too big for its own site somehow. Like...everything is grand scaled, but it somehow just feels to crammed in for the design ethos they're working off of.
It's going to be a huge traffic magnet due to how poor transit connections are going to be in the future, and how this development is...
