There are 4 pharmacies already in the area within a literal 5 minute walk (2 Shoppers, Metro and one I can't name at Esplanade and Jarvis). Hardly lacking. 24 hours no but then how many are across the city?

Also one at Loblaws on QQ and Lower Jarvis, one at The Esplanade and Lower Sherbourne and one at No Frills on Front. We are really not short of pharmacies.

A slightly taller main level would have improved this significantly. Did this not go through design review?

So, to be more like Union Square, we'd need a Trader Joes, a Whole Foods and a Nordstrom Rack. And just up a the street, a Restoration Hardware.

The demographics of this area does not fit Whole Foods just yet. Maybe in the future. WF is opening up a Bayview/Eglinton store, which of course has a pile of luxury SUVs available to fill up the parking lot.

I should hope not. One of the St. Lawrence Neighbourhood's best attributes is the mix of incomes and other demographics.

The awful Metro grocery store in Market Square is at least as expensive as Whole Foods.

Last year I lived right near a Whole Foods and shopped there for convenience. Of course depending on what you buy (prepared food is expensive everywhere), Whole Foods is only marginally more expensive than any other non-budget grocer. The idea that Whole Foods is expensive is primarily result of the cachet of the brand, not a reality of what's actually sold in the store, imo.

It'd fit in just fine in this neighborhood, I think.

What an odd, odd choice of design.

It's very weird. I hate it and love it at the same time. The reatail really bothers me. Every time I walk by it I get mad.

We have updated our dataBase to reflect that Young + Wright Architects has been folded into IBI Group. Though this project was originally credited to Young + Wright Architects / IBI Group, the dataBase file now simply shows IBI Group as per their request.

I know this was complete several years ago, but it's a great view of it from Market Wharf. Taken Saturday:

And I'll slip in this close-up of the iconic Gooderham Building:

I like it but it's too bad about the spandrel.

When that grey was installed on the upper floors I assumed it was an under layer. It looks like they run out of money to clad the top 8 floors. All I see is a cheap tin can. Maybe one day they can install proper cladding on the top floors. Black brick could work.
