I didn't think they were part of PATH, just subterranean retail spaces. I don't recall ever seeing PATH signage here ever...would be funny to see a tourist trapped here going in circles trying desperately to get to Union Station...

Is a 2018 completion date at all realistic given they haven't even gotten any approval from the city yet?

That's just sloppy journalism.. Taken from the same article...

First Canadian Place Building, which resides close to Toronto’s Union Station. The next seven tallest buildings in Canada will all reside in Alberta, with Edmonton’s Stantec Tower being the tallest building outside of Ontario. It will reach a height of 251 metres and is also scheduled to be completed in 2018 in the city’s Ice District.

^how is that incorrect Filip? Stantec will indeed be the tallest outside of Toronto..

 

[interchange42]

It's incorrect because it says that the "next seven tallest buildings in Canada will all reside in Alberta". That's just plain wrong.

I regards to 2018 completion, the yahoo.ca article (which relies heavily on our writing but doesn't get it all correct, and which has out-of-date renderings) misconstrues what we said about that. There's only one store at ground level that Mizrahi currently has a contract with to have open in January 2018. That means we'll see something akin to the temporary canopy that Aura had up for a few years to protect those below it as construction continues above.

Grand & Toy?

 

[interchange42]

It'll be a grand store, no doubt, with plenty of toys.

You're so coy! Does Mizrahi actually have a signed contract with a fruit seller?

 

[Lenser]

If he does, he won't tell. We can speculate 'till the cows come home. It's all part of the Apple NDA way. When they're ready for the big reveal, we'll know.

 

[Benito]

The huge glass windows for that retail space certainly suggests Apple   

 

[AlvinofDiaspar]

And F+P is the go to architect for high profile FruitCo flagships...and just listen to how Jony Ive talk...and compare it to how Foster talks...

OT - And speaking of FruitCo, here is the pinnacle of glazing:

Please let's not start the "please Apple we're begging you for another store, Toronto needs it" discussion. The One Bloor east, and Eaton Centre threads are ready spammed with that.

Toronto can function just fine without another one.

 

[Lenser]

But will Toronto be "world class?"

Whatever. I just want to see this thing start.

The Beatles management co. is opening a flagship store? Wow! Amazeballs.
