I am confused as to why Future Shop ever went into that space to begin with... but I will give them the benefit of a few months to try different layouts and find a way to make it work. I really don't like that entrance.

On a slightly off topic note, I was looking for the best price on a Sony Camcorder I wanted and that Future Shop had the cheapest price. They beat out Best Buy, The Sony Store and some small stores along Yonge St. Quite the surprise!
 
those stores are busy...

My dad work is about shipping stuff from Muirs and he says they get a lot of stuff going to Canadian Tire and Best Buy Downtown...


Don't assume that all downtown stores are running at loss..

They may be because of the cost at running at a major location...
 
why not fill up the lunchroom windows with LCD tv's which would create a huge video screen.

but i guess they would be allowed to do that as it would compete with the curved HD screen.

Upon further inspection, it seems that the freight elevators are located near the hall between the main building and the nose, which is why the stock room needed to go where it is.

Perhaps PenEquity should have never connected the two. Instead, the main floor "nose" and the second floor "nose" should have been leased as one unit with access to the second floor from street level on Dundas and Victoria.

Ideally, a McDonalds or some other fast food place should have gone here with second floor seating.

I guess lots of configurations can and will happen as the building develops in the future.

What about the space below and above? thumbing the area 3,000 below + 5-6,000 on the ground + 3000 on the 2nd + 3000 on the 3rd = 14,000 on 4 floors - areas needed for escalators and circualtion space would leave you an 'area' that is useless. Again per my previous comment...the garage should have come down.
 
I dont know if its been mentioned, but a few of the street and sidewalk lights are now up along Yonge St. They look very St. Clair'ish

could we at least wait until the whole building is finished and everybody has moved in for at least, say, 6 months, before we trash how they've set things up?

to me it's like walking into someone's house, a house they've just moved into over the weekend, and trashing them for having boxes lying around and having not put up their art work. or figured out where best to put the tv.

I don't know. Does your friend live in Toronto Life Square? If that's the case, his place is a shithole.
 
Wow, some harsh criticism here.

Fundamentally I don't like this building; a fact which I have stated several times before. However, when I was walking my girlfriend to work today I looked behind me (I was on Yonge south of the square) and TLS didn't look all that bad. With MET in the background and Encore rising beside it, the whole scene looked very - dare I say it - big city! When Aura, 4 seasons, Uptown, and the Bazis Bloor Blaster Super Soaker Slide go in, (also TLS will have some better quality advertising) this vista will be one of Toronto's best!

I believe Alanis Morissette and her parents both have units in that building too! BTW, keep your eyes on my Ottawa/Gatineau photothread for a picture of it.

It's a pretty decent condo! The materials are certainly better than 99% of the stuff going up here. That Belgian place at the base isn't too bad either.
 
^ McDonalds or a Subway... a major fast food chain would work well with two floors of the nose, specially with Ryerson right there.
 
The Square needs a McDonalds. As much as I hate the place and refuse to eat there, it just SCREAMS the kind of commercialism that Dundas Square wants to exhibit to the world.
