it always seemed to me that, following the opening of the Eglinton subway in 1954, the corner of Yonge and Eglinton was an important part of the transformation of Toronto into a modern(ist) city. this accelerated when the TTC sold the air rights above the subway, and the Canada Square development was started in 1961.
Since it was north of the old heart of the city, there were no struggles with the Victorian streetscape, or any need to gut a beautiful older model of development. it was essentially tabula rasa for the city Toronto was to become.
