Very nice image. I walked by today and noticed that the traffic courts on level 2-3 looks ready to open.

I am waiting to see how well the Farmers fit into their new space. As you might imagine, they were very unwilling to be moved from the old North Market but are now, I am told, not too keen on moving back! Change is a problem for some folk.

Same. I was there on Saturday at 5:30am, thinking about how it used to be in the old North Market. But also thinking, man- it could feel kinda stark and empty in such a large space. Only time will tell, and we’re just 6 lightning quick years away from moving in!

This has been quite the evolution from the original scheme:

If this were Australia, we’d have built this with next to zero value engineering. What is the magic in Australian capital procurement and how can Canada replicate it? Would be a good investigation @AlexBozikovic

I’m doing some work on procurement these days. Stay tuned…

Clean windows and still looking meh!

Looked like the floor inside was being cleaned up and possibly sealed today. Also the connection to St. Lawrence Hall looks nearly complete on the outside.

One of the big garage doors open today.

Those metal guards at the bottom of every column look quite gross.

trying to be patient as we have all of these 99% completed projects that we've suffered for years for and still cant use. Eglinton, Finch, this. lower donlands getting there too.

They'll no doubt look better after people shove garbage into them, which they will.

And this sort of metal cladding always look so terrible. It's just like Time & Space condos. There are always weird gaps and joins that don't align, it drives me insane (not that I could do better, but then again, for $100 million...)

...they don't look really thought threw, I'll say that.

I remember parking in that parking lot at the SW SE corner of Front and Jarvis with my dad to visit the market. It could have been as late as the early 1980s...

The parking lot on NORTH side of Front is site of Market Square - which was completed in about 1984. The one on south side of Front, site of 109 Front St was built in about 1998.

Me too! ; later we shifted to parking at the Loblaws at Jarvis/Lakeshore and walking up.
