Kind of quaint and depressing to see This-and-That Bank as tenants at every Toronto office project.
Who else would be able to afford:
1. To lock in a lease years in advance of completion?
2. Pay the exuberant downtown rent demand?
There's existing parking levels / loading level for the Bay there.
They demolished the parking slabs to allow for the new elevator core to be built
The parking was all built at the same time. Late 1980's/early 90's. Also produced at the same time was the former "stump".
It was a 6 storey, above-grade garage with a bridge on the 5th floor:At that time Thomson owned the project through its subsidiary Woodbridge and they wanted the parking for the Bay store, which was a Simpsons, which they had recently acquired. If I recall correctly, there had been a Simpson's parking garage on the site before it became part of the Bay Adelaide Centre project.
