Got to wonder what this building with all the trees etc will look like in the winter though?

I assume that by the time the world cup rolls around this place will still look like a complete mess, unfortunate they could not of started this portion sooner. Either way this station has been needed for a very long time now.

Do they not have town hall meetings or anything to get input from people that are on this forum, I am confused was the architect not chosen based on original designs and yes slight changes happen but this is extensive, bland is an understatement. I guess I just don't understand how the process...

Have they come out with a design yet for this bridge that will go over the 401 and onto Hwy 8 ? Would like to see where exactly that will be dropping down before sportsworld drive.

One key thing also is to provide affordable retail space so that you don't price everyone out of the area like they have been doing across Toronto, hence why so many streets have for lease signs now. Just like they give affordable housing they should do the same for small business owners wanting...

Floating pools like in the tender should be along the entire waterfront, that is one way to bring people to the waterfront, especially after the summer we are having now. Hope it comes to reality with the way it's being shown.

They have ocean fed pools, why not lake fed pools along the lake shore area and these new islands. Bondi beach, Dubrovnik has a natural one. Migh be an idea. Paris is doing it in their river.

The architect/civil engineers of the project where are they from? If they are North American they should change them to a European one, or at least consult a European firm on final designs.

Are they doing some kind of partial opening of the retail, pathways etc?

I don't want to have to pay to ride a ferry every time I want to go to the islands, sure its fun but we need a connection once and for all. And with hundreds of people lined up only people able to pay for water taxi and speed there trip up. Definatley not what the islands were built for. The...

So what is the plan for the temporary site after April-5th ?

What is with those barges on the north side? Easier to use than the bridge?

These discussions need to continue and people need to go to these meetings for this area, this is a massive piece for Toronto, this thoroughfare is so important, it can not be anything less then special/spectacular. They should take examples of other walking cities where things have worked. I...

I feel sick to my stomach every time I see this picture. I don't believe the team that designed this building has any creative architectural bone in there body. Trully shocking!!

I hope with these monster projects going up with Pinnacle & East Harbour etc that they are taking into consideration the ground floor retail, the walk ability of these projects to not just make monster buildings with no life down below.

Thanks for the answers, it makes sense if what is manufactured determines if the structure is going to stand or not. I just thought the passion from the architect and owners is what is missing in Toronto, I have heard it from numerous people on this site about how much better Toronto could be if...

Can someone explain to me why Montreal was able to maintain the Molson building and keep it with history but yet Toronto on this project was not able to. Once again Toronto not willing to keep its history within architecture. Montreal project not make 65 story towers either but yet we have to...

In that picture does that show downtown, midtown, uptown, is that what that is showing?

Why can't we just make more islands and make a connection to the islands that is more than just a tunnel to an airport or a ferry. Not everytime do I feel like waiting in line for hours for a ferry ride to the islands, or pay more for a water taxi. I think a bridge to the islands is the answer here.

Excellent photos. But damm that downtown skyline needs some colour and more style. So blah... Impressive in size but not much else.
