Wow, I almost forgot how hostile that area looked before, now you could spend hours there.

Truly a transformative project! Kudos @bowen and team!

Multi, modern & attractive seating in a Toronto park!?

This wonderful project is eye bleach for the city's oft-shabby public realm. If we had at least a hundred such public realm projects on the go, with proper maintenance funding, we could better justify our real estate and hotel prices.

Can’t stay away from here! Apparently the next step is to open the space between the north and south silos. My first question is if they will paint the suspended industrial thingy a fun colour or heritage black? Also I wonder what the plan is for the boardwalk on the eastern side in regards to the grassy strip behind the fence once it opens up? Extension of pavers and move benches back? They have put asphalt on the back part of the plaza.

Finally love this little coffee hut! Taken 13 October.

They will keep the rust patina, they even painted the new supports brown to blend in with it.

An unexpected pleasure was seeing people enjoying the site while waiting for a plane and looking so relaxed. I always assumed that the airport and this place would create conflict. Taken 20 October.

Did a quick visit today as part of a long walk. The quay certainly is very popular, and has some fantastic views!

The skyline from here seems very empty when you can't see much of the Financial District

Great location for plane-spotting (no, the plane was not landed yet, I snapped the photo just before it reached the runway)

The stone feature also creates a nice barrier between the two sections of the quay, making the plaza area feel nicely enclosed
