Yeah, looks like taller ceiling heights on those floors because you can't see any glazing on the floors above and below.

Great looking signage!

So the one in front is intended to make NOBU look good? At least it's another darkly clad tower among the blues and greens.

There's really no cornice at the top of the podium - there's no dark horizontal member above those windows at the top of the podium, so I think that tempers the heaviness. There's a strip of light coloured cladding (with edging) which also makes it feel like the black podium is tucked under the...

Any idea why these panels have a rectangular vent hole rather than the grille seen with the other panels? Or is the grille added later?

The original facade would have looked great opposite 1 Bloor West. Now this redesign will look like a dog's breakfast in comparison.

Oh, I just realized that they didn't use the angled panels on either side of the midpoint of the "mouth". The reflections look a bit off in that last pic.

You have to wonder about the Eataly moving in, when Pusateri's failed in practically the same location. But Iit looks like Eataly is more about dining, rather than groceries, and may be less high-brow.

https://railway-news.com/hitachi-rail-to-supply-ontario-line-trains-and-systems/ Just saw this pic of the HART Hitachi train (and platform gates) - looks very similar (except HART uses 3rd rail). https://twitter.com/hnl_rtd

It was originally going to be called Technoparc Station, wasn't it?

Based on the Retail-Insider article, which says that Saint Laurent is taking the former Brooks Brothers and J. Crew spaces, that new retail protrusion looks like a new entrance for Saint Laurent - maybe as good as they can get to having a porte cochere or valet parking stand (but it faces the...

I think that must be the back of the building. Progress pics of the front from the Bloor-Yorkville Retail thread Oct 26, 2022:

Nah, the consortia will bring in foreign workers for specialized work like the tunneling, then they leave after the project is completed. Canada Line had European and Latin American workers for the tunneling. See...
