It was odd seeing this yesterday as I walked to the subway. I guess the black cladding pops here, especially considering the shlock that's gone up to the left...like Social. I'm not impressed by this project but it's a good background building, with decent bones.

The funky-ness of Yonge & Rich looks pretty cool there!

That streetwall/"podium" elevation they did is rough.

But why didn't they rebuild those two third floor openings? The cost would have been negligible in the grand scheme of things

Yes, it is a bit odd not to have returned them to what was, I assume, the original standard form.
This appears to have been done in fall 1981 when this pic was dated.

Surprised they didn't bother to take out that modern triple width window and re-create the 2 Georgian windows that were surely there originally.

Yea it’s kind of a strange choice, but I bet the light in that space would be really nice with warehouse loft vibes.

Agreed with you guys but Toronto design always favors the future.
