Good job Solaris. THanks for all the photo updates.

A wan, ghostly presence on a site choc' full o' ghosties - the building that housed Lichtman's bookshop, for instance - pointlessly demolished for a stump that went nowhere and was also demolished.

Plus the Central Building on Richmond, which was "facaded" in preparation for B/A North only to have the saved facade demolished with B/A originally went under; or Aikenhead Hardware, which was also facaded but at least attached to a functioning building.

Then there's Birks (later Canadian Tire; yes, they had a "downtown" store before Ryerson) at Yonge & Temperance; demolished for the only (besides Aikenheads--or for that matter, the Baird/Sampson park to the north) real built component of the original B/A, long vacant but now selling muu-muus to the local Mama Casses...

The Lobby Exposed - Dirty but Exposed

Notice the support colums are central - the corners are open - hovering. I like it

There is a full massive metal lattice covering the south wall - presumably for artwork. A little difficult to see in this pic.

Was wondering when they would get to the ground floor. Thanks for the shots.

Another few months and it should be done.

Finally-- one of the most exciting parts-- the ground level, which affects us pedestrians more than anything else.

 

[Urban Shocker]

And, because the tower doesn't plunge into a lumpy podium, pedestrians are brought face-to-face with the notion of what lies above ( such as it is, in this case ) - as with the TD Centre, and Commerce Court West, and latterly such buildings as Spire.

Personally I kinda like the lack of a podium.
