Hey - thanks for posting this! It's unfortunate that the rendering does not really show much design detail with respect to the portion that will span Highway 401. The best way I can describe it is a metallic mesh skin wrap. You can kind of get a sense of it in the 'cutaway rendering'...

Thanks for all of the replies! I'm glad this has generated a great deal of discussion. However, I can't allocate any more time replying to the posts. So, if you post something afterwards, I'm not wilfully ignoring. I just got other tasks to do. I just want to say that this is a...

Yes, there are a lot of LEED-certified buildings. But they are not easily recognizable examples of sustainability. They are buildings with inherent and mostly-hidden green features - not apparent to the casual observer. I never said Pickering was high visibility or transit friendly (where...

When I say 'the most', I'm using the Highway 401 exposure as reference point. Highway 401 is acknowledged as the busiest highway in all of Canada. As Pickering is the gateway city to Toronto, Durham Region and Eastern Ontario, approximately 350,000 vehicles pass through every single day on...

Just need to back up a moment. The office tower is being built by 20Vic Management. It is not a PPP structure. The Federal and Provincial governments are contributing $30 million to the project through funding an enhanced GO parking deck and enclosed pedestrian bridge. This is complementary...

The most recent rendering of the pedestrian bridge looks nothing like the original picture. In fact, the new rendering is very dynamic and exciting. Unfortunately, Metrolinx/GO Transit has not officially released the new rendering. Once built, the pedestrian bridge will be a landmark structure.

Please note, the combination of the office tower and the pedestrian bridge will be a catalyst for change in Pickering's downtown core. What is publicly known is that MPAC will now stay in Pickering with the office tower as its new headquarters. Two other organizations have also committed...
