November 7 Pictures Perhaps we should start a separate thread for Roundhouse Park separate from Leons in P&C instead of Retail. Anyhow, some pictures from today: The many train buildings undergoing restoration, including the Don Station...

November 7 Pictures Some more movie activity today. I was actually worried at first that there was a real emergency, then I remembered reading about the movie here earlier this week! http://www.flickr.com/photos/41002894@N07/4083781875/in/set-72157622756392786 Every car on Bay from...

November 7 I love Robarts! Sorry for the green tint, this is through a window. You can also see Crystal Blu off in the background in front of the CIBC building: http://www.flickr.com/photos/41002894@N07/4083799695/in/set-72157622756392786 From Mercer Street...

November 7 Pictures I got a bit carried away and took a lot of pictures today, but it was just so hard to stop! First, my standard view of the west side. There seems to be great debate on the floorcount. I can read the construction elevator labels clearly with binoculars from the comfort of...

November 5 Picture You spoke too soon! Here is a picture from around 5pm today with the lights turned on. Sorry for the poor Blackberry quality. Also the trees have been installed in the pit outside Telus. PS Thanks wyliepoon for your extension photo updates on all the threads yesterday...

November 2 Pictures, Partial PATH Opening The PATH is now partially opened from the Bay side as far as the parking garage. You can see the food court under construction but can't go any farther. 1. Stairs in the Bay near by the luggage display...

I was walking by today and it appears that most of the park itself is done. Most of the fencing has been removed, except for the area where they are restoring all the cute little old train buildings and hobbit housing. I could not take pictures because I was carrying groceries. The park seems...

Hmm, an interesting idea, what would it cost? Personally I would prefer to maintain the existing larger water perimeter, especially once the promenade to Ireland Park is opened up and people are walking along the water's edge. It would also be good to have open if the marina quay is ever...

November 1 Picture Here's an interior shot for a change, looking west through the fence on the John St side: http://www.flickr.com/photos/41002894@N07/4065531279/

Excellent work Traynor! This thing will be a beauty when done.

November 1 Pictures I think I count 17 floors, including those in the podium. http://www.flickr.com/photos/41002894@N07/4065531699/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/41002894@N07/4066282084/ The Ritz peeking out as well: http://www.flickr.com/photos/41002894@N07/4066282498/

November 1 Pictures Well, it's still a big hole in the ground: http://www.flickr.com/photos/41002894@N07/4065532739/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/41002894@N07/4065533109/

November 1 Pictures 1. There is now a Second Cup in the podium at Bay St and Lake Shore Blvd. It is a very lonely little store right now, but hopefully in time it will be joined by others as the other area parking lots get developed. PS I had to walk by the ACC while a game was getting out...

Dude, it already has started a chain reaction. :) Off the top of my head the following is planned or under construction within a couple blocks radius: Theatre Park, 224 King W John and Mercer Westinghouse, 355 King St W and 119 Blue Jays Way (2 towers) 21-31 Widmer John and Adelaide...

October 31 Globe and Mail Article There is an article in today's October 31 Globe and Mail: I won't bother to post the whole text. It more or less repeats what has already been reported in this thread. The commenters are predictably ignorant and don't seem to realize that the bulk of the...

Are you referring to the small detached Administration Building at the southernmost part of the property, right along the water, currently used by the city forestry department? There are no plans to tear it down. The report anticipates either continuing its current use, or letting the Ireland...

Thanks for posting the document. It's a very nice comprehensive summary of the whole situation, and matches what was heard at the meeting. I'm feeling very optimistic about this now. Phase I looks like a done deal. The budget is already there, and it is mostly basic infrastructure and...
