I saw Emergence up close today, and it’s pretty cool! Almost everyone passing by stopped to take a look - even the security guards. Great details - think there’s a whole chess set of pieces visible, but didn’t confirm. Kids will love it.

And lol - the sign is just a piece of cardboard that is placed on the sculpture. Don’t think it’s going to last long!

UNLESS... the parents decide it is too scary for the kids and have it shipped off to Bala.

As much as I think this sculpture is super super cool, I worry that the nooks and crannies will get very dirty and filled with garbage. Is there a cleaning plan or something? Is that something the Well ownership group would be in charge of?

The way that sign pops against the brick is absolutely amazing. This was just such a well put together project in its entirety. I have no complaints from anything that I've seen in it

So, The Well officially opens one month today!

Just looking at that photo, I thought, what a great project. I have a hope that the Well is a game-changer, architecture-wise, for the city as a whole. Planned communities can be dynamic and pedestrian-focused! They can use heritage-inspired elements without seeming cartoony! They can create spaces that have different scales that feel both exciting and comforting!

Prince Street Pizza opens October 26, which is one week from tomorrow.

Today. Indigo is fully stocked but not open yet - maybe waiting for other tenants so there’s more foot traffic?

Speaking of tenants, these are the ones opening in the food hall next month

Elsewhere, some stores are being fitted out for opening, restricting some access through the galleria

The escalators at the entrance are operational. Passersby are allowed to use them to explore the 2nd floor, although access is limited to pretty much the front third (maybe even fourth) of the galleria. There’s a curious sign pointing to the (not yet accessible) Terrace, although I couldn’t see where that might be. Unless it’s the name of the 38th floor restaurant operated by O&B?

A nice touch. A great entrance gate to go with the new wall.
Traffic lights added to assist those entering and leaving the garage entrance.
Some of the sidewalk is still a work in progress,
