It doesn't even have to be a restaurant. Just an outdoor/indoor space with windows to look at the city. Maybe a bar or something should people want to stay a while. I used to love having drinks at the top of the Hancock tower in Chicago. Was it the CIBC tower 3 proposal that had a restaurant...

I wish Toronto would do more observation decks, bars or restaurants. You would think they might gauge the interest in the market as they go into planning stages to support things like visitor entrances and facilities

Boring but hopefully the cladding will be sleek and seamless. If the cladding is high quality, it might turn out surprisingly modern

I always wondered if RBC wanted to consolidate some spaces downtown. Even though we have 88 qq and 155 wellington, i think those spaces are pretty maxed out already. If they want us to return to 5 days a week, we would definitely need more space.

Those fans sitting down in the left field corner are going to have to watch out for those liners. Wonder if they plan on putting netting up.

I sure do! Maritime Life was one of the only commercial projects that wasn't a traditional box. Then along came Spire which wowed us with height. The city I see now is so different from what it was then.

Wow. I totally forgot about that. I should see if I can dig it up somewhere. Wow 20 years has gone by quickly. I remember how excited we all were at the prospect of a 30+ story building and desperately hoping for some commercial development. We're spoiled for choice these days. Happy birthday...

Whenever we do end up building a stadium, I'd personally love if they went with either of these directions; More traditional but with a Canadian twist. Take some inspiration from prominent Canadian architecture like the chateau style CP hotels Something of a mix of traditional structure but...

For the exterior, it wouldn't take much to add some accent lights to match.

Why not just light all the steel up? It could look beautiful if done right.

It wouldn't take much to really give the dome a modern update. Some ideas; Change concrete fascia around all levels to glass similar to the ticketmaster section on 300. Making those tinted glass or glazed will really make the place feel a bit less heavy. Like others have posted, use new LED...

Those pods would make a great spot for the spa.

They're probably just waiting until everything is developed so they can sell them to developers or sign on a hotel partner.

I wonder if some of the dump trucks are dumping from the Dundas and Beresford dig. That site was in a similar state where the builder was supposed to maintain a clean, filled site when it just became a dumping ground for garbage and dangerous fencing. Now that they have dug, they built the...

I take it none of you have children. I have no issues with it. How are we to know someone hasn't jumped on a plane and made their way from Thunder Bay to Toronto? Even if it saves the life of 1 child, it's worth it. Quit your complaining and put your phone on mute.
