The high quality of this project now highlights how much of a revamp the nearby highrise/Harry Rosen store needs, with its discolored glazing and nonexistant relation to the street wall.

Glazing is being put up, black glass and framing

I think they can still have a cohesive design while integrating the older house, they just need to make sure the threshold between old and new is deliberate enough.

Nice to see another eyesore stucco retail box getting replaced!

OMG so satisfying to see that brutal scaffolding come down after all this time. Nice to see they kept the timber windows.

There goes any interest I had in this project

I was worried they would only rebuild the left side roofs and leave the other half looking shabby. I wonder why they waited so long to dismantle the right side.

Didn't even realize there was a nice older house at that corner, it's just been blocked off by extensions. Glad this proposal gives it some prominence again.

Can't wait to see that menace of a retaining wall removed.

So amazing to see the entire heritage block restored! No more missing cornices and painted brick. Every single historic facade on Yonge needs this treatment.

It's a nice piece of late modernism, glad the renovations are sympathetic to the original design.

They should introduce fish and lily pads

I hope the next step after this project is to powerwash the buildings around the campus. Lots of black stained facades around.

The finish on the concrete parts of the paths are really nice, much better than typical sidewalk concrete.

That's amazing, especially considering how stained and damaged it used to be.

Just so I'm clear, the restored silos are painted, right?

Those four columns will remain exposed.

It's nice that they timed the opening so the island tree is in bloom. To think, that view used to look like this:

Those brick towers next to it are kind of cool

That chain link fence being removed is oddly satisfying
