What's taking them so long to install that signage anyway? You would think CIBC would want their logo up and back on the skyline pronto.

One (unconfirmed) reason may be that this building won't be getting signage treatment on all four sides, and deciding which sides takes a lot of considerations. If only two are granted here, the next two will be going on Phase II's North and East facades.

I don’t think that’s why, because they wouldn’t have put it up first on literally the least visible side (on the inside of the North side of the building). Pretty sure they’re just delayed in getting the signage. Initially they installed the old logo for some parts (ex. By the ATMs, wayfinding) that only recently changed over.

I suppose they could have put it on all sides and FAR larger. I think they may (wisely) be going for a more subtle approach.

Either way, I'm very glad they changed the colours of their brand before putting it all up there.

I'm blown away that people can make these tiny models, never mind the actual buildings...lol.

I didn't realize the north tower would be that much taller than the south. Thought they were almost the same height

Do we know what will go between the North building and the existing structure facing Front St? Will it be mostly logistical functions, or made into a retail/public space for pedestrians?

edit: nevermind, found some renders. Hope it does turn out this lively.

The model appears to be an older iteration, where the North tower was noticeably taller.

That explains it, too bad

Yeah, north tower is only 3.3m (11ft) taller than the south. Won't be that much noticeable.

What is planned for the old office space, is that silver building going to try to attract new tenants?

Although it’s called Commerce Court West and has a huge CIBC logo in the lobby, CIBC actually leases very little space in the West tower before Square, and now, basically none.

Before the pandemic, inside info was Laurentian Bank Tech has a rather large presence there and would out up their logo. Don’t know if that is the case anymore.

Note in these first couple that 160 Front is now visible from the Yonge Street side of the CIBC Square site.

And we'll finish w/a slightly different look at the rail corridor passing under the POPS
