I believe the Yonge Street frontage of he Eaton Centre has been 'redone' 2-3 times already since its inception has it not?
 
The east (Yonge) facade of the Eaton Centre has long been incorrectly maligned as 'dead'. Previously it was setback, had all sorts of excellent high-tech detailing, stairs, balconies, bridges, retail frontages, etc. Cad Fairview gets way too much of a pass for its 1990s erasure and leasable-footprint-increasing along that frontage. In the name of 'storefronts' (which retailers do not have to keep open and are often locked), we lost all of that for some crappy, clipped on, Potemkin Village garbage.

It's worth going up to the parking garage levels and looking over. It's all still there above the mall levels. You can kind of see it in Google, but it's definitely worth checking out in person:

The exterior looks great after decades been hidden from sight, It's a matte of time that this building will be loosing it crane as there next to nothing to do these day for it. Now if it help to remove the ugly looking facture along Yonge St, it will remain a little longer.
