Toronto East Harbour GO & Ontario Line Station | 14.35m | 1s | Metrolinx | HDR

This is quite the engineering feat! I wonder how many engineers, designers, and architects are working on this massive project.

The drone shots are great, but it's hard to appreciate the scale of this until you're right next to it. Was just on the Stouffville line GO train coming into Union and this plus the bridge and underground portal are huge!

Breathtaking. In one way or another.

Enjoy!

I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen a render depict something during a rainstorm, interesting choice to make

Must look worse when not in a rainstorm without the nice reflections of the trees?

Well hey, at least this "hub" is going to match Toronto's unofficial colours of depressing grey and black.

Great job Metrolinx, truly you've really outdone yourselves with this pathetic design.

Each render is progressively worse. I'm excited to see the final render.

Slight improvement from the previous design iteration, still incredibly unserious. I think there is a pretty good chance the building that gets developed on the adjacent plot is tied directly into the station and becomes another entrance, in which case the prominence of this entrance will be diminished significantly. I am not privy to the floorplans on the concourse level and whether or not they have knock out walls but I would assume that CF would want to have direct access to the station.

Agreed, the newer version is a little less Walmarty...

...still not our Hauptbahnhof as first rendered by any stretch though.

We couldn't even manage Gare do Oriente
