Toronto Tower at Pier 27 | 114.9m | 35s | Cityzen | a—A

A hole is being dug in front of the building. Could it be that trees are on the way? Also, a new wall in the yard.

If that's a tree hole it seems very big and a pity it's not the (now standard) tree trench with lots of expansion space and the plastic soil 'containers' that prevent compaction. (https://www.theidealgarden.com/product/tree-root-protection-panel/

Here is a picture of the plans. I took this picture of a display and one of the consultations. You can see trees along the front of the building where the holes are being dug.

Good god. More metal junk being passed off as art? I'm embarrassed for Toronto.

My my. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I very much like the art. It’s whimsical, It makes be happy, I like to look at it. What do you like?

 

[Jeff Morgan]

It's been a while since anybody has posted so I thought a couple of pictures were in order.

The first plants showed up today.

Also, they are install glass on the awnings in the commercial area.

Maybe the point of that twisted metal is to produce the most embarrassing piece of junk possible and see how many Torontonians will accept it as art. He/she is giving us the finger yet no calls for its removal have surfaced yet. Embarrassing.

I love the art.

They were doing soil sampling in the sales centre's parking lot last week, and surveyors have been roaming around the site. Perhaps they are gearing up for construction of the final phase? Last I heard (pre-COVID) Cityzen had severed the land for the last phase with the intention of selling it so that it could be developed by a different developer, so perhaps it was sold (or perhaps Cityzen just decided to develop the site itself after all).
