Just imagine if the Rail Deck Park goes in! Would feel like a slim Central Park (or at least the Midtown end) or Millennium Park in Chicago on a smaller scale, but both having a really sweet sight line to the CN Tower and a very vibrant place to be. I can see it in my dreams haha.

Size wise it's actually much closer to Millennium Park than Central Park. I think Millennium Park was also built on railroad tracks, but I don't think they elevated and kept the tracks like we plan on doing.

A zoom-in to The Well:

Thanks for this. That was awesome. I cannot wait for all these clusters to be in place. Maybe in the next 10 years we'll see a good chunk of them, but I'm not entirely sure.

Glad you enjoyed it. More to come...

It is a raised park. Tracks exist under the promenade. The rest is parking

I’ve seen a sign with The Well logo at King St and Spadina next to Quantum coffee but can’t confirm anything.

its my first winter in Ottawa and its brutal man. Im from Kelowna, B.C, we have like 2-3 little snowstorms and the snow melts with in a week. the coldest temp that ive seen in Kelowna was -20 and never heard anyone talk about wind chill in Kelowna LOL! and spring starts in March. Vancouver is even better.

I drove to Labrador and woke up to -48C yesterday. Folks around here were mocking the cold weather alert in southern Ontario. I have to admit that after that -48C, today's -26C felt balmy. I didn't even put my gloves on when heading across the street.

Toronto has it easy relative to most of the country. -26 is just called winter in the Peg.

Wonder how cold those inner arcades will be in the dead of winter? Hot Cocoa sales will be up!

I know the development team traveled into the UK and other European cities to get some precedents on this semi-exterior arcade design. Don't know if they ever saw -20C temps though. The air will be fresh!

BDP designed it from my understanding - Riocan brought them in from the UK as they also designed extremely similar shopping facilities in cities like Belfast.
