Photo series from yesterday, with some editing this time.
This first shot shows the layers of old to new. Still voting this as the best project the city has going on right now, even if it's not perfect. Best materials for sure (no grey spandrel in sight), the King street urban realm is great, other frontages less so being set back, but the original tower set a weird precedent.
Obligatory shot from the park, just the place I'm most familiar with.
The cladding is getting close to the top; progress has sped up a lot.
Always gotta get a shot from this alley. Just good at encapsulating all the
new that's in the city.
The sidewalk is open now, the streetscape is unchanged as it was already consistent with the rest of the BIA. The first flowers are planted in the beds, which remind me a lot of the Dundas Street planter beds by Dundas Square (same black granite).
This building has the most pronounced effect on the downtown feel compared to any other recent build.
The King Street patios are already being built (the wood on the ground). I hope to actually use them this year.
This last shot feels like a good place to wrap.
