It's always crazy for an ancient land-dwelling mammal like myself to consider, but almost all of the buildings in the above photo did not exist when I first came to Toronto, 25 years ago.

1. Was hoping more glass block walls would be installed but it looks like they’ve paused that or these were just for initial testing

2. This courtyard is going to be an amazing space. The building isn’t tall but this space feels huge.

3. The initial facade retention structure has been replaced with usual scaffolding, I’m guessing they’re working on restoring the bricks now.

I saw a bunch of interesting looking granite pavers laid out in front of the site office across the street. I wonder if this is going to be used in the courtyard — maybe I should consult the KING Toronto coffee table book.

I think you're right about the courtyard:

Sunday late afternoon - a whole bunch of short term stay visitors taking up temporary residence at the new building.
