I remember that too! I think it was Trilea who owned it.

Good to see those suspended corners finally poured.

Is it strange that they didn't use the Scotiabank logo - just the word mark? I can see that they probably wanted to balance the Deloitte sign with the word mark, but they omitted the logo.

That podium is a counterpoint to the "towers in the park" criticism that some of the early CityPlace towers adjacent to this site (to the east and south) may have received.

One exception for TransLink is that if you start your trip on a bus and pay cash, the ticket you receive cannot be used to enter turnstiles at SkyTrain stations, so you need to pay again if you transfer (that saved the capital cost of changing ticket machines on thousands of buses). The...

It'll be very visible from those neighbouring towers.

Yeah, the cladding closing it in adds insult to injury.

Maybe the scaffolding was erected so they could remove the terra cotta (or limestone?) tiles from the facade before demolition?

Didn't expect clear glass unless there's an amenity up there?

There's no way those perforated panels would work with the windows as built. The clearance left by the tall skinny operable windows (which would open outwards) would only leave a short strip for any sort of perforated panel. I think they have been deleted.

Wow, the slab at that suspended corner still hasn't been poured.

This may be the grocery space.

The KING Toronto project looks so small in that shot.

If there's a cheaper way to build the Queen St. Station at a shallower depth, the private sector will find it.

It needed more opaque surfaces (stone, concrete, whatever) to add character. This is the equivalent of an all glass condo facade / balcony where all you see is people's stuff / junk inside.

Looks like that to me!

"... and it might not even cost more" 🤣

Good to see they hid that downspout!

Hopefully that little heritage building on Bloor willl be sandblasted and reveal red brick. The project needs a shot of colour on that frontage.
