^ ya I love the 416 suites, no way that was purely coincidental.
It's tough to tell from the elevation exactly how it's changed, but yes, it does look like it will be different. I wasn't a fan of the previous iteration compared with the earlier ones—I'm hoping for something a little beefier up top—so we'll just have to cross our fingers as we wait for the purty pickchers.Uhh the top of the tower in that East Elevation looks completely different from the renders, and not in a good way. Did they change it?
The story says that "Over 3,000 people have pre-registered for a chance to purchase the approximately 416 suites to be offered in the tower." That's insane.
What's the hold up on the demolition of that solitary building?
Yes it is but i doubt the back end, im assuming they will keep 1/4 of that thingThat building is being integrated into 1 Bloor West, it isn't being demolished.
Im hopping just the facade, what makes this any different than the Westinghouse bldg. where King Blue is being built?I wish it got moved to somewhere else.
ahh, thats goodThey aren't going to be preserving anything but the facade.

“What’s the plan for the Presentation Centre?”
Our presentation gallery is right now under construction. We’re building something completely state of the art with touch screens that you swipe onto the walls. It’s going to be something that Canada’s never seen. We’re actually building it with a firm in California. It’s going to be spectacular at the same level of this building. We’re anticipating it being operational before September and we’re having an 18 foot model created by Forster which is just going to be incredible.
We have such a huge interest. Over 3,000 on the waiting list right now and I think half the building is going to be gone before the presentation gallery even opens. We’re also going to be using the gallery to do the purchaser selections. Construction for shoring, excavation, and tie backs before September. We’re going to start right away to put our anchor retail tenants in
“You can’t tell us the tenants!”
The anchor tenants are going to do the announcements themselves! We’re probably 90 – 120 days away. I think the city and the country is going to be very proud of what’s going to be put there. We’ve spent a lot of time specifically engineering for our anchors. We’ve actually reversed engineered the building for that in order to have uncontaminated retail space.
