Toronto Macdonald Block Reconstruction | ?m | ?s | Infrastructure ON | WZMH

Is there any major change to this renovation ? Or are they just sprucing it up and adding new glazed windows ?
 
Aside from the below-grade rocket launch pad, building mounted Ferris wheel and landscaped roller coaster, it's pretty much the same.
And the rumoured Minor Variance to add a giant Mugatu "M" on the top!

Buildings from this era usually aren't valued (some think they're ugly) and often meet the wrecker's ball. It's wonderful and encouraging that this is being modernized while respecting its architectural heritage. Attitudes towards this type of architecture are thankfully changing. Maybe a few more buildings can hang on a little longer and avoid being lost forever.
