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

Just got back in town. The forecourt isn’t finished, though they’ve added bollards.

What I did notice is that the escalators down from the bridge are self contained in their own hallway that connects to the Bay Teamway.

They’re behind the main lobby. So it’s possible that the bridge can open before the building does. Seems like it can be any day now, the entire path from Union through the bridge and down the escalators looks finished.

Occupancy here was supposed to be Q4 2025 so they are behind schedule - Penalties in buildings like this a big money so I'm sure they are pushing hard to catch up.

Swung by the park last night. The park itself looks close to complete, the lower floors of the building not so much:

Cafe and lookout building:

The lobby with high ceilings and soft yellowish lighting looks really stunning at night (more attractive than the atrium in Brookfield place ?)

Incredible how these bridges completely transform the tunnels from a scar dividing the city from its waterfront into a welcoming portal integrated into the fabric of the city.

When he gave up on taking down the Gardiner, David Miller talked about "Beautification" and we see it now in the context of the rail corridor. CIBC Square took care of 4 of these ugly tunnels.

Shame they weren't lower to cover all of the concrete from the bridge, save for the support section in between the lanes.

They could still cover up what's left with murals, though.

...and he thought he could hide his tags in the blinding snow.

Deceptively warm peach sunset hues….

^...walking outside in a bikini will quickly dispel that deception though. >.<
