I don’t see how building more residential in the financial district is being viewed as anything but a win. If anything, it will be necessary to prevent the hollowing out of our downtowns. Remote work is not a fad. We don’t really need more offices, and we certainly need more purpose built...

Yes it is.

Quite a few windows have been installed now. Who cares though, their rising neighbour across the street is much more exciting.

At least it will cover 1 Yorkville, so I only have to look at 1 ugly building at once.

The ratio of spandrel to windows on this thing is literally 50/50. 💩

Basically at-grade now:

Brookfield is the property manager. Manulife owns 50%. Edit: of the land, I should say. I assume Brookfield has a very long leasehold interest.

People will lament the fact that it will be an Earl’s, but it will make tons of money and they will pay top dollar rent. Look no further than Cactus Club (owned by Earls) in First Canadian Place (which Manulife owns) as an example.

Every time I walk by this building people are taking pictures. It’s going to be pretty spectacular.

I’m still curious regarding how they will (presumably) market this as a luxury building and not have parking. But what do I know. It will either be filled with students, elderly people, or hippies who have come to reclaim Yorkville with their bicycles.

The streetscape is pretty abysmal. They couldn’t even throw in a single plant? This whole stretch of the building along Yonge is cold and uninviting. I wouldn’t lease a space either.

This reads like a satire article. Unfortunately it’s not.

RGB lighting would look cheap on this building. It's not a gaming PC.

It’s a mammoth!

I wouldn’t put so much faith in aA. Let alone aA x Concord.

Terrible accident by a terrible developer. Really appalling and sad. By sheer chance, nobody was killed.

It feels like we’ve all been waiting forever for this. Personally I think it looks really good. Matches the window colour nicely and isn’t so gold that it’s tacky.

Moderately gold columns at moderately golden hour tonight.

At first glance of this pic I was focused on the corner pieces wrapped up and didn’t even notice the entire column that had cladding!! Now for the reactions on whether it’s gold enough :D

Bowling & entertainment venue ‘The Ballroom’ to open in the McEwan’s space. Seems like a neat idea...
