First updates shared since December. The lack of progress is frustrating, but tell you what-- I don't envy the poor functionary tasked with drafting these.

King-Liberty has been removed from Metrolinx's 'What we're building' page for the Kitchener line [Link] and replaced with the Heritage Road Layover. URL for King-Liberty is fully offline now. [Link] Screenshots below of the pages as they were in March/April of this year.

Link to the Metrolinx update from September 12, 2024 - Kitchener Fourth Track and Bloor Station (TTC Connection) [PDF] Includes lots of photos and a project timeline update. Also-- apologies if these have already been posted, but went looking for a schematic of the tunnel/concourse design and...

Very much looking forward to the level connection along the rail bridge from Hanna to the North side of King. There's a walkway behind 1100 King St. W. with access to the WeWork, Winners, and the Sonder (that I've noticed-- may be more connections) descending from rail level at the East end to...

Bay St. Concourse leading to Scotiabank Arena behind me. Hard to see here, but the fencing on the subway level is brand new…looks like they might be preparing a path leading through the future market to where the food court hoarding is today.

The parkette today from Draper St.

Escalators delivered: Mirroring the Eastern end of the site. It's so much bigger irl...

Lots of progress in the Bay concourse with lighting, signage, and most of the drop ceiling installed. Taking a picture would've been difficult and didn't want to linger, so here's the moat from the TTC to the concourse, taken last week.

Noticed these markings on Carlaw today. They run from Queen to approximately Dundas. Almost looks like the outline of a subway alignment... Would someone more knowledgable than me care to dash my optimism? Thanks.

I’m not personally familiar with the charity or the services they offered, but the sign was for Dixon Hall. Some research turned up this: Also, Loblaws is listed as a donor on at least one of their annual reports.

Dollarama being built in the former community space attached to No Frills at Carlaw and Gerrard.

I"ve read the criticism for the low storefront ceilings. Walking under this today though, I agree that they could've been higher, but they don't feel claustrophobic.

Airports are nice because they recommend you arrive several hours before your departure time. Union overall is pleasant enough and will improve in the future. And much like an airport, there's a lounge upstairs. With the "pop up" spaces looking huge in comparison, really makes you wonder what...

12 seconds in: looks like someone made an Alexandros run. As someone who grew up on the Danforth, I always wondered how that location ended up down there...

Peeking (peaking?) from behind Loblaws at sugar beach

And speaking of tenants, the renders show a park on the site of that parking lot adjacent to the retail frontages. Is that still the plan? If so, at what stage would that be built here?

Looks like concrete forms for the bridge/balcony thing are going up. These were taken yesterday. Facing West: Facing East: And a bonus shot of Royal Bank Plaza and Brookfield Place through the moat glass:

A panorama and closeup of the aforementioned column cladding facing Southwest. Taken today.

Hello everyone, I've been following the progress of this building and I have to say I'm disappointed with how the pointed section of the podium turned out compared to the render. Obviously the more impressive version would've added cost and complication to the project, but what obligation do...
