Whats that grey ugly box.

Princess of Wales Theatre.

 

[whatever]

One of the theatres I'd imagine

You can tell it's Princess Of Wales by the Frank Stella squiggle, of course...

 

[condovo]

Thompson Hotel's glass is better IMO.

Yes, and loading dock wraiths who snub the FSC, RTH and Massey Hall spend inordinate amounts of time ogling it ...

[Redroom Studios]

great to be able to see it from this perspective!

 

[unimaginative2]

Is the building supposed to be open for the next festival?

 

[Hydrogen]

The podium, which is Lightbox, is supposed to be open. The condo tower won't be ready.

 

[khris]

Surely not the 2009 festival... right?

 

[Hydrogen]

Why not?

No, 2010.

 

[Benc7]

Actually, it opens as the TIFF location in 2011. Restaurants to open there in 2010.

From the Globe:

"Slated to serve TIFF36 in the fall of 2011, the Bell LightBox project is still $49-million short of its goal." Jul 28, 2009

With the height of the ceilings in this room, it should be quite interesting. If that's gonna be all glass, it will have an amazing view and atmosphere. Does anybody know what that room will be used for?

 

[Automation Gallery]

From the pics, this looks like it could have easly been a two tower development.
