'Zoomer' needs to be banished from the English language, assuming it is in fact English. It just makes me want to retch.

^Znaimer + Boomer=Zoomer. I know some phonies that work at his magazine--total flakes.

Got confirmation from a Corus friend the other day that CFNY and CILQ's streetfront studios in the Dundas Square area will both be closing soon and moving (along with the entire radio division) to Corus Quay.

That's a shame. I feel like Dundas Square is the perfect location for media outlets of any kind. From there, you can look out your office window and see/feel what's happening on the street. The new location seems so isolated.

They'll have to work to get some attention at their new location, perhaps with concerts and events. It's what the new waterfront will need (people spending time there).

 

[Urban Shocker]

Yes, like CFMZ Classical 96.3 does with their Concert Lobby classical concerts, only with a more prestigious location.

So this baby is addressed 25 Dockside Drive. There was a lot of activity on site today. Some Corus employees were walking in and out of the building too.

Corus

If I had to guess I think that's Pier 27 and not Sugar Beach.
Sugar Beach is on the same pier as Corus on the west side of the building.

I wonder by they cared that you were taking pictures. Unless there is more concrete barrel dumping going on in the area.
Thanks for the pics.

oops! right you are! i'm going to edit this post and put that shoring picture in the proper thread.

i think the construction company was just concerned that if something went wrong evidence would exist against them. silly, i thought. i good old shoring video would have been nice. and loud.

From the King Edward Hotel:

Troika's lightning bolt looks lovely in the atrium - I watched it sparking and flashing last night when I was down there.

 

[khris]

Is it common knowledge that there is a 5 storey slide in the building?

 

[Solaris]

a 5 storey slide ?? do tell me more ~

 

[urbandreamer]

It's an interior slide that employees can use if they are feeling stressed--supposed to make them feel more like children--aka, creative, happier, etc.

Whatever.

 

[interchange42]

I was told this evening that there is no slide - yet - but that it is coming.

Also coming? Well, opening for Canada Day actually... all this:

The official opening is still several weeks away, but Canada's Sugar Beach and some of the promenade south and west of Corus will be open for Canada Day. Here's what it looked like around 6 PM on June 30th.

Here's the view from Loblaws:

Here's the view from the water's edge at Jarvis Quay:

Garage Doors will open into the public square allowing for concerts and other events to be staged in the building:

The promenade along Toronto Harbour will be partly sheltered by the building's overhang:

The promenade is lined with trees and features a paving plan with inset maple leaves.

This maple leaf will spring a leak; many in fact. This will be a spray pad.

Check out the Sugar Beach thread for a few more pics.
