Hopefully just 2 bands of the taupe coloured spandrel?

I guess that cornice gives an example of what the "ribs / veins" on the facade will look like.

Yeah, I think it would have to be a skinny tower as far away from the existing tower's sightlines as possible.

You can tell that the 2017 plans deferred to the height of the Canada Life Tower as remaining the prominent height element. I think you'd have a hard time building something that would overshadow it.

That's how Eaton's and Woodward's failed - they sold off their real estate assets and then had no colateral to borrow against.

Yeah, a similar twitter post by someone else was posted on SSP Vancouver too.

That overlay really highlights/reminds that the tunnel also covers the top of the tracks too. PS - the columns for an elevated line can be quite deep depending on the soil conditions. Reminder of the height of the columns below grade at Gilmore Station on Vancouver' Millennium Line (soft swampy...

Thanks. So that shorter portion will cantilever quite a bit over the railway tracks.

Or likewise, for the successors to fail to accept change and expropriate to widen Yonge Street. Street widenings have often required the demolition or partial demolition of buildings. In some cities, that why historic basements extend below the sidewalks after the street level part has been cut...

About as insane as this: Woods, McIlroy break ground on high-tech golf league site https://www.cbc.ca/sports/golf/tiger-woods-rory-mcilroy-golf-league-1.6755273

New curb and sidewalk might mean the Apple store is opening soon?

Is it me or did they purposely make it look like a really long bus shelter instead of a covered walkway (with posts on both sides)?

I like Burger King 's Whopper Wednesday. Still need to try KFC's Twosdays - which are back!

Wow Spring 2025!
