Toronto Backstage On The Esplanade | 116.73m | 36s | Cityzen | P + S / IBI

[interchange42]

If I were living on one of the lower floors at 25 The Esplanade, I would be very glad that this terrace isn't any higher than it is. I think that the space between 25 and this building is already unnecessarily blank, and that the roof of the driveway which heads into the Green P parking to the east should be greened as well: the lowest south facing units at 25 now look into a gray canyon. It's ugly, and not good for mental health.

Some new art piece, just installed today.

For those who are curious, yes this building is still not 100% complete yet... Some of the common area and amenities are still being built.

I once dated someone who was petrified of birds. That would totally freak her out.

Wow that’s an awesome piece! (Fitting monument to birds who hit the windows around the city no?)

I'm getting an American imperialism vibe from that. Manifest window wall destiny.

Pity they have STILL not finished the sidewalk!

Unfortunately, the piece of art does little to mitigate the ugliness of that part of the podium base.

Same developer as the L-Tower so not being complete would hardly be a surprise! (They are also now working on 158 Front!)

What is the purpose of the truncated bridge on the right, since it doesn't connect to anything?

 

[innsertnamehere]

it dates from an earlier time when there were tracks on it, IIRC. Today it is planned to eventually support a new PATH connection.

As late as 1992, they appear to enter whichever building occupied this site before the GO Termial did.

I think it was a post office (mail) building.
