Im so happy we got CIBC Square out of this office tower boom. Two beautiful high quality towers.

Same! I love these, i just wish phase 2 was taller. This building deserves the extra height.

That's my biggest gripe with this development. Making phase 2 another 30-35m taller would have been great.

I think both these and 160 Front really should have been taller since they're the big bank towers. It's a shame.

I think most of us feel that way.

Totally agree, I hope the new hybrid working model doesn't prevent other projects like The Hub from not being built but the reality is the demand of office space has gone down so my guess is some of these get scraped or seriously delayed.

Amen. I miss the old bus terminal though.

Amen. I miss the old bus terminal though.

Words I never thought I'd hear anyone say! (Well, write.) Is it possible to "miss" a bus terminal - any bus terminal?

Particularly the old one on the CIBC site!

I'm teary eyed thinking about it. If it wasn't for that "old" terminal my great-grandparents might never have met.

I miss the old bus terminal for being much closer to Union Station. The new one feels very disconnected when I come back from Montreal by train and have to schlep for 10 minutes to get to the bus terminal. Also, the signage in Union for the bus terminal is awful, and also the signage inside Union for the buses is atrocious. It’s pretty much impossible to know when the buses are until you get into the bus station. It’s extremely user unfriendly. They just assume no one is taking a GO bus and that there’s no need to sign where it is or when the buses are leaving. I’ve honestly been shocked how bad it is recently. I don’t think they used to separate it by GO bus/train before. Maybe I’m wrong and I’m remembering through rose-colored glasses though.

Just a heads up cmac. There's a multi quote function so you can respond to multiple comments in the same post.

Figured I'd mention it just cuz it probably makes your life easier and cleans up the thread a little bit!

As for the towers themselves. I agree with pretty much everyone else. They look spectacular. A little more height on phase 2 would be extremely welcome though.

The new bus terminal is more civilized and indoors.
