I lived here for three years. Definitely not heritage on the interior. :) With that being said, it is a subtle, but elegant, building that gives Yonge a sense of place.

That is The Selby. https://urbantoronto.ca/database/projects/selby

When do they plan to close that part of Lake Shore Blvd on the NW corner of this site adjacent to the flagship tower 1 currently being excavated?

When will it be decided if this building will remain at approximately 309m versus allowing the height increase application to the 339m range? Thanks.

I’m not advocating having a glass roof but if we did go with one, having a retractable roof that is open during the winter to ensure it does not become compromised from snow build up could be an option. The roof is only needed during the baseball season to stay warm and to avoid rain delays...

Love the most recent graphics. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!!!!! Quick question: How do you treat a building like One Yonge? I see that you have phase 1 as under construction, which is accurate, but what about phase 2 (SkyTower) which is somewhere between proposed and almost under...

The restoration is coming along nicely. Slowly, but nicely. Here is what it looked like in 2019. Source (Google Streetview)

Regarding that G&M article, they say the price tag to turn one side of University Blvd into a park would be an estimated $230M compared to the $1.7B required for the proposed 20-acre Rail Deck Park. That is a big cost savings! However, my one main concern with the University Blvd proposal is...

Wow, great quality video on Johnny Strides YouTube page. He gives a shout out to UrbanToronto at 27:00.

Loving the Harbour Street canyon and the views east. It will also be a better overall environment when they convert Harbour to a two way street between York and Yonge.

Did not realize until @sikandar posted above that there will also be a pedestrian bridge from CIBC Square over Yonge Street directly into Backstage Condo. Does anyone know if that bridge will be in the vicinity of the upper or lower arrow in the image below?

Amazing pics. I could believe those were renderings and not actual photos except for the one photo with someone sporting a mask!

They should keep the current Cherry Street Bridge open to pedestrians so we can continue to take these wonderful photos. Haha. I assume there will a path along the channel there to take similar bridge with skyline pics?

You can use the CN Tower webcam to view several construction projects including the Rees Street Park project highlighted in the red box in the image below. If the Rees Street Park is not within view, you can select the Panorama option and then click the image to move left/right and then zoom in...

Reminder that while the Cherry Street north bridges will be red the Cherry Street south and Commisioners bridges will be yellow and orange respectively. http://blog.waterfrontoronto.ca/nbe/portal/wt/home/blog-home/posts/How-we-designed-torontos-new-bridges

What’s that white compass shaped ‘crane’ tower in the background for?

That photo by DavidCapizzano two posts up should be sourced to Google Streetview and dates back to May 2019. Does anyone have an updated pic of this building (Simcoe Hall) as it must be fully scrubbed by now?

The heritage podium and transition to the floors above were very tastefully done from my perspective based on the renderings above. Bit disappointed with their concerns on that. The height issue might be valid but hopefully if they cut the height they are not forced to cut the quality to make up...
