Took a look inside World On Yonge today.
Firstly some exterior shots. These are passable, but not the most attractive. The hotel/office tower is the most awkward of the bunch (It quite literally looks like two buildings stacked up on one another with grey spandrel madness at the top).
Moving on to the inside, unsurprisingly the place was pretty dead. There have been many comparisons to Aura for the inside stall treatment, and yes, it's almost the same concept. But the inside of World is much less depressing thanks to the open area in the middle and lots of skylights/natural lighting. It’s also got some decent finishes and balcony railings. So ya, it looks a lot better than Aura’s retail for sure.
Dead Hallways:
I ate at a place called 'Sakura Sushi’ at the food court, quite appetizing and recommendable.
There is also a tiny ‘Greek’ food stall as well:
The first fatality of the mall is called ‘Sushi Burger’. I was told it closed down already:
On the lower level I was surprised to see a massive tarp covering it. There supermarket coming here is called Seasons. Not the korean supermarket Galleria as I thought it would be. (it was also kinda funny how the tarp inflated and deflated due to the pressure down below). I’m sure the place will liven up dramatically once the grocery opens, bringing in more pedestrian traffic.
