A very sincere thanks for your words of support, which I will share with our team. It's a tremendous privilege to do this work, and very rewarding to hear it is appreciated. So we'll just keep going!

We actually have a similar but bigger idea in mind! In partnership and with funding provided by the Waterfront BIA, we have worked with Moment Factory to produce a high-level concept and feasibility study for the installation of projectors on the site with which to transform the silos into...

Here’s a short video that will be released today to celebrate the recent Phase 2 ground breaking event.

Hmm. Had attached some photos to my reply that didn't show up. Trying again.

Hey Daniel, thanks for your support for this project and for your feedback. I'm glad to answer this question. That particular bench design is found in three other central waterfront locations: 1) the nearest is the immediately adjacent Portland Slip promenade, which uses timber that looks...

Some progress photos as we clear the fences and debris around the south silo. Next week we’ll excavate this area in order to repair and waterproof the foundation.

FYI: tonight our team did a dry-run of tomorrow's silo lighting demo . It looks amazing. Check out Jonathan Gazze's instagram and the Waterfront BIA's social media tomorrow for photos. And come check it out in person Wednesday evening at 8pm! https://www.instagram.com/jgazze/?hl=en...

Contract award for the silo rehab was approved yesterday. We're scheduling a kick-off site meeting with our contractor next week, with mobilization set to begin early October. Another puzzle piece falling into place. We're excited to get started. Also, Wednesday, September 29 at 8pm is...

Wow, you guys really don’t miss anything. That award panel report only went live this morning. Hoping for an early October mobilization for both the silo rehab project, and the Corleck building by Canada Ireland Foundation. And we’re presenting revised landscape concept plans to our...

The constructive feedback and enthusiasm is most appreciated! We’ve been diligently working away on getting the silo rehab and Corleck renovations both underway this summer. Making great progress, with some groundbreaking dates coming soon!

Totally agreed. Very interested in this group’s feedback on a naming idea for both sites. The ‘bookend’ notion for the Canada Malting and Victory Soya silos has been around for some time, but practically speaking there are very few places where both can be seen at once. Really just the north...

Not out of ideas! Just learning from 30 years of ideas here that went nowhere in order to start getting results. The tender call for the silo rehab is actually live now: https://wx.toronto.ca/inter/pmmd/calls.nsf/dd85f61ca09c5de58525729900531c83/3270df0156c1e986852587090048c8ed?OpenDocument...

Great suggestion and in fact the ground plane and paving details at the western threshold to Ireland Park is something the team is discussing already and will be exploring further in detailed design. FYI: We’ll have the June 16 public meeting slide deck and recorded presentation available on...

As promised! https://toronto.webex.com/toronto/onstage/g.php?MTID=e701897b19014065760e7b914d6855925

For those on this thread interested in the waterfront plaza being designed by PFS Studio: Please hold Wednesday, June 16, 7-9pm for an on-line public meeting that will feature a presentation from PFS on their conceptual designs. Registration details available in another week or so. Will post...

Thought everyone here might appreciate a quick update on our progress. 1: Today our silo rehab team had a 75% drawing and technical specification review session. Just ironing out a few final details as we prepare to put this project out to tender. Still on schedule for a Summer 2021...

FYI: we’re currently tracking a June 2021 release of the conceptual design for the waterfront plaza space (by PFS Studio) that will link up each of the new promenade, Ireland Park, the Canada Ireland Foundation centre, and the rehabilitated malting silos. I’ll be sure to share details here for...
