My memory is a bit fuzzy but I’m surprised I haven’t seen more shots from this angle. Reminiscent of the now lost TD Centre/Mies viewport. Though this is a bit more Spandrel Centre than TD.

I don’t think it is..

The renders only showed the crown and maybe a couple more spaced out strips along the tower being lit with the horizontal lights. The edges of the entire building will have lights though, wonder if it’s RGB lighting also.

Honestly I just imagine it’s its own separate construction, it even looks visually distinct. The one good thing about that podium is the money they saved from value engineering it probably saved more cuts from happening to the actual tower.

. Okay the companies haven’t made it easy for me to not mixup. So to confirm: iPhones can also pay with credit cards without unlocking with Express Transit and as of right now that seems to be enabled for all the Presto readers except the subway fare gates (which apparently is coming in Sept...

Those sections of glass blocks must be so heavy!

The stalls look nice but oh man surely they could've thought of a solution for those ceilings

Nah lights on buildings are cool. Can’t any more light pollution to the city, might as well make it cool. Though I am being reminded that lot of Torontonians are no-fun

Don't get me wrong, I'm still quite happy with this iteration of the market. But wasn't the winning design substantially different than what was eventually built—I recall it being much more angular and unique.
