Agreed.
So they decided to add a wide blank panel below a wide blank course of brick (ignoring the proportions of the concrete banding separating the brick panels), in a colour that doesn't match or complement the brick or painted concrete banding above.

Does anyone know who's leased 170 Bloor West (Park Hyatt ground floor). There are construction permits pulled but no tenant listed, the permits, however, seem to imply a tenant. It's 20k square feet which is ginormous by today's standards.
Project includes interior alterations for Group D occupancy subdivided in 2 levels, ground level 1 and second level. The work includes: interconnecting stair, bridge, LULA elevator, washrooms, 1 universal washroom, servery pantry, cafe, meeting rooms and private offices as well as other service rooms. Structural, Mechanical and electrical associated to this work.
Seems like an office - but even that feels surprising, considering everything else going on.

Alo Yoga Looks to Grab Market Share from Lululemon as it Opens 1st Canadian Store with Plans for National Expansion

Alo Yoga Looks to Grab Market Share from Lululemon as it Opens 1st Canadian Store with Plans for National Expansion
The US-based retailer has a cult following similar to Lululemon at a slightly higher price point. Alo could grab market share from Lululemon while lower-priced brands also enter the market in the athleisure space.

I Imagine this means that the Birks VC&A Bloor shop will close then? This could create a potentially much larger unit for the incoming 55 Bloor tenant.
