When they closed down, they said they were going to move to Parliament & something, but they never did AFAIK

Could have been a lovely apple store location there. Wonder who will be replacing.

Great pics Benito. The refurbished brick building looks nice. Appears they painted the white trim yellow perhaps to compliment the champagne cladding on the tower!?

Reminder of what it looked like a decade ago..

Heritage facade is complete.

I'm surprised in restoring the facade, they didn't replace the red brick "fixes" from the past.

I suspect they'll do the fine grain repairs once the tower is mostly completed. Or at least that's how I've seen done with other projects like this.

So by my account they would be just a little under half of this section between mechanicals. So we should be seeing a mechanical floor being poured again by April

Below is a pic by great UT contributor @jer1961

I love the restoration work on the Yonge-facing facade.........but what's with the north-facing brick wall?

That can't be original brick, it doesn't match the front facade at all. I find that rather jarring.

Edit to add: I think we need to summon UT's brick connoisseur @DavidCapizzano to opine on the matter.
