There's far more going on here than just the carport ceilings. The entire thing has been demolished to its bones. Ceilings, floors, pillar wrappings, everything is gone. Inside, the lobby is a pile of rubble. It'd be strange to not have permits to build, but perhaps they only applied for a...

We know that there will be stairs and an elevator going from the first level to the concourse. What I’m pointing out in sharing that image is that the blueprints explicitly state that Apple has their own design team and that the design of such details are provisional and their final form will be...

Apple is also taking the second floor of the adjacent heritage building which further adds to speculation that they'll have a platform or otherwise second floor space open to the main retail floor.

A link would've been helpful. This Application # is not coming up.

HOW👏 DO👏 YOU 👏KNOW? The blueprints explicitly state that the anchor tenant has their own design team. Whatever Apple has plans for, are not a part of the building construction and therefore not included in these blueprints or permits which will be submitted and obtained separately as have been...

I was able to get a better peek inside today — no pics as I just ducked my head in. The entire lobby is a pile of rubble. They're going for a full scale redesign of the hotel. I'm still a little puzzled because I recall that the City Room on the second floor had recently been renovated and it...

There are structural elements like the staircase, elevator and potentially a platform, none of which are listed in The One's blueprints because they were never intended to be built by Mizrahi — only placeholders are included and explicitly labeled as such. Given the large structural components...

Yellow crane being “cut out” from the south podium. Once the yellow crane is repositioned and the centre crane is removed, the retail tenant will take possession of their vaulted three story space to begin installation of the store. I’d imagine we’ll see black hoarding going up around the...

Did some looking around and The Sheraton is undergoing a worldwide facelift of 450 hotels. The new look is brighter and more modern with features like soundproof booths and lobby bars. via thepointsguy.com/news/future-of-sheraton/

Walked by the Sheraton and noticed a major major redevelopment going on throughout the ground floor, primarily in the porte-cochère: The Queen street frontage is also undergoing redevelopment: Nothing of the old roundabout was left in place and inside, the offices that previously occupied...

Looks like this has been the holdup. The next pour may require removal of the centre crane and they had to finish getting the adjacent podium to the point where they could reconfigure the yellow crane for the rest of the main tower.

Besides how understatedly beautiful this building is, the second major benefit is indirect: it'll soon free up Old City Hall and its surrounding grounds to be restored and reach its potential as one of Toronto's top historical landmarks in the heart of downtown. Bay Street needs a complete...

I think you're on to something. Banking has increasingly been moving away from the teller experience with consumer facing services happening first at the ATM, and now in apps. We're not there yet, but this rate, I can see TD finding that their branches are largely empty through the day and...

Not that the Eaton Centre location will become iconic, but they've made provisions to eventually open the store to James Street facing Old City Hall once the courts leave and the building is redeveloped as the Toronto Museum. That'll give it a town square. I do think Apple Yonge/Bloor at The...

Is there a complete retailer list for the Bay Concourse, other than the few we already knew about? I moved just up the street and Union Station looks like it'll be a frequent stop for me. Would love to see some sort of grocery store amongst the retail here. Very very little of that in this area.

I wish I had my phone with me the other morning to take a picture. I woke up early to walk my dog and looking across Nathan Phillips to this building just before sunrise was just amazing. It really fills a nice background behind City Hall's curved towers. In retrospect, I'm really glad that this...

Which is why this set of towers will run perpendicular to the others. Plenty of room East/West for this second phase, whereas the south lot had more room North/South. I wonder when the CIBC logo will be added. Has CIBC given any indications of their pending rebrand? I imagine they'll do a...

KING Toronto's hoardings have some fancy new wraps. I was rushing through the area while moving so didn't get photos. @Red Mars if you want to go over, I'm sure the forum would like to have a look.

I'm not sure this would qualify as a "park" but I've gotten in touch with Joe Cressy's office regarding installing a temporary pet relief station on Temperance or Sheppard St pending street improvements that provide a permanent solution, i.e. in-ground tree boxes, grass berm, etc. While the...
