Toronto Union Centre | 298m | 54s | Westbank | Bjarke Ingels Group

The actual numbers for the building as approved in the Zoning Bylaw Amendment are a retail GFA of 7, 341 sq. m/78,977 sq. ft, and and office GFA of 92,859 sq. m/999,014 sq. ft.

The site lists available gfa, meaning that there is little left of the total. Unless there is a typo, it suggests that it's mostly pre-leased. It seems unlikely since there was no announcement, but...

Maybe the numbers that appear on this page reflect the current building on the site. They simply make no sense for the new one, and there's no way that much of the new one has been released. Not a chance.

I'm going to venture that nobody has any idea of what you're talking about. You're not explaining it very well. Are you saying something about the York Street tunnel under Union Station?

Any updates on this project?

Wow? BIG....you just made my day

I would love to see renders regarding what will be happening over Station Street as per this section in Bozikovic's article...

'But what’s more interesting is what happens at the bottom and the top. The tower will sit on top of an eight-storey internet hub at 151 Front St. West, and behind it above Station Street, a narrow thoroughfare that is privately owned by Allied. The data-centre floors will grow; below them will be a 1,000-person event venue and retail space, and
the street – still open – will run right through the base. '​

Nice

Here is what Station Street looks like today compliments of Google Street View..

I believe the previous plan was to demolish that enclosed walkway

Talk about overshadowing the building that's going to get developed across the street! I guess they we're waiting for 160 Front Street to start developing.
