Summer they have to host event...now the million dollar question is: "can they host free events in the winter time"?

Just came across this application for a restaurant called, BOHCA. Not sure if that's an acronym for a previously announced restaurant.

I checked on my phone, and I counted 27 photos.

These are externally uploaded, allowing it to bypass the limit of 15 photos uploaded directly per post.

Thanks. For me, the main limiting factor would be the file size, as files that are uploaded cannot exceed a certain size, and are automatically downscaled to 1280 pixels in the long dimension.
As for this project, aside from the office tower, which I find could have a more cohesive design, I find this project to be well-designed and implemented, no pun intended. Here are a few photos I took back in May of The Well:

Crikey! That easterly view ^ along iceboat terrace is quite something!
In terms of place-marking we have the iconic CN Tower and the becoming-iconic The Well, and the CIBC building will make a spectacular perspective point/ view end-stopper (whatever the technical term is).
BUT, the space looks so unloved and unswept and is completed with the ubiquitous plastic wheelie bins, mindless tagging and weeds. It will be nicer once the trees grow in a bit but it doesn't have much going for it now in terms of civic pride.
It basically sums up the current state of the city - some world-class buildings and a lot of big-time neglect.

It's been a mess like that on the CityPlace side for years
I'm not sure if that's the city or the buildings garbage bins and/or responsibility
There's supposed to be some sort of Mouth of Creek park or whatever but now it's empty land with wild grass and garbage

For my fourth photo (which is what I assume you are referring to), the technical term is "terminating vista". Admittedly, I have to agree that public spaces in the city could be a lot nicer. There is a thread for that:
Shabby Public Realm
February 3, 2012 The clutter in the public realm at University and College is ghastly. There's already a pole by the curb for the street light, yet there are those massive arms extending from another pole so that the traffic signals can be hung over the roadways. Topping it off is a third kind...

"view terminus" is most common I believe.
