Not sure who 'owns' this thread, but DiamondCorp should not be the proponet here. It's either RioCan or Allied. DiamondCorp exited the project entirely upon receipt of NOAC.

.... and Claude Cormier should surely get a mention in the title.

I’m a little confused. I thought Claude Cormier already designed a cat park on nearby Draper Street which runs east-west between Draper Street and The Well.
I thought this park was part of KING Toronto as it forms a pedestrian thoroughfare from the south arch passage/opening of the courtyard to all the way south to Wellington.
Here are some images from the marketing brochure/coffee table book:

Yes, you raise a good point - there is the Cat Park (definitely by Cormier) at west end of the Well (@ Draper) and this one. Are both parks about cats? Are both by Cormier. we need to know!!

FWIW, BlogTO identifies this street address, 456 Wellington St. W, as a future Cat Park:
Popular Toronto nightclub to be demolished for cat themed park
It's the end of an era for concept venues and the dawn of a new age for feline kind. The Addisons Residence, a lounge-meets-club space on the quiet...

This entry below says the same, and identifies Cormier as the designer:

You do know I wouldn't post it, if it wasn't correct, right?
From the above:
For clarification, "The Cats (Cat Parkettes)" includes two new parks: Draper Park and the Wellington Cat Promenade, both designed by CCxA (the landscape design firm previously known as "Claude Cormier + Associés"). CCxA is listed as the designer of this project in our database. More renders on their page.

OK, OK but I still think that Cormier should be in thread title or that all Cormier's should be updated to CCxA
Thread title has now been updated to include CCxA.

Personally, I don't think we can ever have enough cat parks. <3

I hate that such a beautiful park is going to be between 2 parking lots and just have dumpster bins on either side -_-

I guess it's all up to what the respective owners' plan to do with those lots in the future. In meantime, I hope they plan to plant thick obscuring foliage on both sides so we don't have to look at them passing through.
