Toronto CIBC SQUARE | 241.39m | 50s | Hines | WilkinsonEyre

[Johnny Au]

The building is lined with metal strips to show the pattern. But the CIBC building relies on a three-dimensional glass surface to create a diamond pattern, and the metal strip is just an embellishment rather than an important part. These are two completely different ways.

Not just that, but the CIBC Square doesn't have a statuette of any historical personalities, unlike on the Comcast (William Penn).

Speaking of statuettes, it would be interesting to place a statuette of Sir John Graves Simcoe on it (though it would be better placed atop the CN Tower).

Wow they are making quick work of this. I hope something’s said about the pace these guys are making of this project. It’s really come along way in a short time it seems. Looking fantastic. Thanks for all the photos everyone!!?

I had friends visiting from Sacramento California last week. I took them along the Gardiner eastbound from the west end. When we rounded the curve just past the Spadina exit, I heard an "Oh My God" come out of their mouths. I have to say, it is an impressive view!

I guess this overpass park will be very narrow
What's the point?

 

[JOAMA]

It isn’t very narrow it will be just like depicted in the renderings

It's an acre in size

The point is to make one development out of two towers separated by a wide rail corridor. This is a pretty good way to do it!

RAP's parade hangover update...

Oodles of work, top to bottom, and glazing on ALL sides.

Glazing spreading around NE corner. And a very large slice of steel rising.

A growing maze of scaffolding inside...

Random 'We The North' photo...

Was at Bay and Front earlier today and I have to say it's beginning to look really, really good.

Wow' that glass

yeah you're right thank you Lord ! I thought the glass was going to be plain & clear. But instead it's a dark blue mirrored look. And we got two of these buildings that have to go up !

That's such a nice shot! Could we get a full-size one for wallpaper? Thanks

Unlike some this project looked good the day they first showed up on site.
