Toronto CIBC SQUARE | 241.39m | 50s | Hines | WilkinsonEyre

Judging from the renderings, I suspect the gap in glazing is a deliberate design element and will remain that way, but I fully expect that the visible concrete pillbox on the roof will be appropriately camouflaged in due course.

Pretty sure "the pillbox" is a (lavishly-decorated) suite that Hines is giving to Wilkinson Eyre (a deserved thanx). Interestingly, the cost over-run of this was covertly funded/negotiated by a group of over-paid local photographers (including razz I think).

It's probably an outhouse for the poor sap who gets stuck working on the roof. Flush twice, it's long way down to the basement...

Just for the record, that is an elevator overrun (or machine room) that will be topped by a green roof. From the plans:

Sorry...I was been a bit loose with my homour there in having fun with this.

Thanks for taking the time in explaining that though. Mystery resolved! /bows

The new logo is definitely the ugliest that will be on one of the city's buildings.

TD's logo isn't beautiful either. And we have got (and will be getting) quite a few of them.

The TD logo is great.

The blue jay should be Toronto's official bird for obvious reasons.
