Do the fountains still work in the summer ?

Where are they currently located ? Wouldn't it be Osgoode Hall ?

Ah I guess they fully relocated to NYCC in that case. Thanks !

Oh no, I knew this :) But I thought they were going to move back into the office building built here.

Is the plan for Celestica to move back into this building btw ? They're currently based out of NYCC.

@sunnyraytoronto I love your commentary—but I can’t shake the feeling that if Lily personally handed everyone at NYCC a million dollars out of her own pocket, you’d still manage to find a flaw in the execution 🙂

What's a likely end outcome here ? Someone purchases it on the cheap, maybe converts the office to a hotel and tries to lease the retail ?

Unless they're rentals it really wouldn't make sense market timing wise.

I think this is a win ... I really hope they improve the street level experience though and I suspect they will. I say this is a win because I suspect if this wasn't going to be a hotel it would simply be demolished and likely sit as an empty plot for years. Realistically it'll probably stay a...

I don't think so, if you go to cbre.ca you will see no mention of 1 Yonge, unless I completely missed it. I think it's much more likely it get's demolished and turned into a parking lot.

But what's the point ? It seems like it'll just just repeat in a few months ? Not that I have any better suggestions unfortunately. We talk a lot about housing but given (at least in my view) a lot of this is caused by drug and mental health issues I'm not sure that'll be sufficient on it's...

Very true ! I wonder if eventually there will be spill over though and we're back to seeing the fringe downtown sites picking up ? i.e. say back to office picks up ... in a few years we're no longer really talking about hybrid/remote ... in the same sense we didn't really talk about it before...

Hehe, my apologies then — I didn’t realize that was an unreasonable expectation 🤪. Let me give a bit of context: I was trying to use it today at NYCC, and the situation was pretty similar to what that screenshot showed i.e. hard to find any stations with available bikes. I know the network at...

Another pet peeve - is this normal ? There are essentially no bikes available throughout Y&E atm:
