I'm starting to think those two cladding panels were absolutely to show off for TIFF crowds.

This isn't a known shopping district, so retail probably won't be a huge attraction to this area.
Mirvish should have built a small venue theatre space in one of these buildings to ultimately replace the CAA Theatre at Yonge & Bloor (which is slated to close for a condo development). It makes perfect sense being in the Entertainment District and the obvious proximity to other Mivish owned theatres. They should have made that part of the deal when they sold these properties.

or even maybe a few cinemas to makeup for the loss of overall movie screening space for TIFF after the socitabank theatre at John and Adelaide is replaced with a condo

about 4,000 people will live in the two phases of this project alone - lots of residents to support retail in this area.

The Entertainment district as a whole is actually pretty under-retailed for the population living there these days.

Queen West serves a lot of the retail needs of this area, no?

considering densities specifically along king st I think there's definitely an appetite for more commercial there. if nothing else, it would also serve to activate the area at least.

A rainy Monday morning. Feels like it jumped a few extra floor in two weeks.

Which cladding panels? They put up a veil for us not to look. I don't see anything.

A few photos I took of Forma yesterday morning while heading back to the subway from Fox on John:

17 floors up and still no cladding (other than the two feature pieces)? Usually by this stage in the game there's more.

It could be that they found something during the cladding installation of the other two pieces they found some alterations that need to be made

Like rivets?
