Already a Toronto classic, this is the kind of building that gets heritage listed in 50 years.

Wasn’t another high rise project planned to cover it?

I like the look of the stairs without glass, it's dark steel so it's quite similar to the city's historic external fire stairs

Glad those blank facades are getting covered up, they were pretty awful viewed from the expressway

For once, a residential building that could match the quality of office buildings.

Those rocks would be better for the fish they are adding too

Spadina box is gone, RIP

I saw some glass panels with a dark frit pattern stacked at ground level on a recent site tour, for the solar chimney portion I believe

The curves look great already

They should just put it on Dundas Square like that old record store sign

Awesome project, in Collingwood no less. Hope one day we can see this with some of Montreal's silos.

The cleaned brick looks so good

Brutalism is now historic architecture with heritage value, that's evident in the fact they are keeping this building without an official heritage designation, and the contest was for an extension instead of a clean slate. So clearly the owners do understand that the existing building has...

The tyranny of the masses again. Another indictment of "most people's" architectural tastes if they prefer the overbearing glass blob to clean geometries with actual depth and nuance to them.

I don't understand how the Zeidler design, the only one to actually respect the original architecture, wasn't chosen. The winning design literally hides it behind trees. Why even keep it at that point?

Another office building with beautiful accent lighting. And one floor partially fitted out.

Some parts will be preserved

Beautiful timber! Fantastic!

So satisfying to see all that old asphalt gone.

The brick being de-painted already looks so much better even before the full restoration. I don't understand what possesses anyone to paint brick.
