2. Selective addition and building modification - like those exposed parking garages and redesign how the building meet the street.

AoD

This would be first on my list. Remove the above ground parking and it's a whole new ball game.

1. Demolish certain buildings - like Westin Harbourcastle and the conference centre.

5. Rebuild/relocate ferry terminal

AoD

YES and yes. This whole area needs to get a facelift.

Demolishing the Harbour Castle Hilton, i doubt that will happen, building over the convention centre i agree, it actually has been mentioned a few times through out the past years Regarding relocating and building a new ferry terminal and dock, i agree, it should have been done many years ago, Maybe in the near future relocate it to the East Bayfront / West Don Lands development project. Oh another thing get rid of the that ugly piece of junk (ship)at the foot of Yonge Street.

^ i still think that this building looks like it belongs to the dark lord sauron. Can't you just see his eye of flame floating atop that thing?

lol

Captain John's Seafood is so ridiculous that it should, nay, must stay.

Maybe it's my age and a certain nostalgia for times I never saw but I like Harbour Square and have wanted to live there since I was a wee one....that and Palace Pier. <3

Maybe some re-cladding is in order. If North Koreans could do it, why can't we?

NOOO!! WHY?!?! They just ruined the authenticity of the tallest ruin on earth!! I really liked its evilness. I actually always wanted to go on one of those tours of North Korea.

Me too! My Serbian passport allows me to chillax there sans problems.

Don't worry. It should be a ruin again soon enough. Apparently, it's as structurally sound as a sandcastle, just like the sick regime that built it, hopefully.

Thanks for all the great pics today, drum118 and smuncky.


I find the glass with the narrow pale-grey/blue banding particularly attractive.

As nice as Telus and MLS are, there's just way too much blue and green glass in this area. You can barely tell the buildings apart under some light conditions.

It's areas like this that make me want precast.
