On the topic of Bed Bath & Beyond at Aura, I'm curious of how it's performance and future outlook is. There was a report recently that the company is planning to close around 60 stores in the US by the end of 2019.

Bed Bath & Beyond boosts store closure estimates, says 60 stores may close by end of 2019

The company said it will close approximately 40 Bed Bath & Beyond stores, and 20 stores from its other concepts.

That store at Aura is never busy - I am not quite sure how it sustain such a large footprint.

The whole podium is screaming for IKEA to consolidate it and take it over.

Are you talking about the basement space or the second/third level space? It would be almost impossible for this to happen in the basement given all of the individual unit owners.

A whole lot of ugly in that shot. The tree is the only attractive thing visible. Hopefully we don't have to wait too long for a re-clad of RCP I, RCP II, AURA, and a complete re-do of that disaster on the left.

Not even the tree - it's sickly looking and should have been a lot more robust in size if not for that utterly garbage growing condition. Purely disposable. I swear planning and the developers have throughly messed up the potential of this superblock.

Oops.

Residents of a massive downtown condominium complex awoke Saturday morning to news that their building may not have water for several weeks.

In an email sent to tenants of the Aura building early Saturday morning, the building’s management confirmed that a broken water line shut down the water in the 80-storey building near Yonge and Gerrard streets at around 2 a.m.

“Low pressure levels from city side has caused booster pumps to cease,” the email, which was sent to residents at around 4 a.m., said. “These pumps are unique and specially designed for Aura.”

While the email noted that the repair process would take at least seven weeks, management did not provide a timeline for how long residents can expect to be without water.

This is presumably caused by THIS: - the private contractor who broke the watermain is clearly in for some damage claims!!

Emergency watermain repair may result in lower water pressure in some downtown areas
21-Jan-2020
Starting tomorrow morning at 7 a.m., the City of Toronto will begin repairs on a watermain near Gerrard Street and Yonge Street that was damaged by a private contractor on January 20.

Water service will not be interrupted, however, lower water pressure may be experienced in the following area while the repairs are underway:
• College/Carlton Street to the north
• Dundas Street to the south
• Sherbourne Street to the east
• Spadina Avenue to the west

The repairs will take place from January 22 to April 30, 2020 and will be occurring underground, so no disruption to traffic is anticipated.

There will be safe water supply to all customers throughout the repair by rerouting water through surrounding watermains. When this happens, the flow of water in other local watermains may change direction and become slightly discoloured due to disruption of iron deposits. To minimize discoloration Toronto Water will be flushing local watermains in the area. There are no health-related impacts associated with the discolouration and the water is safe to drink.

Those in buildings less than four storeys that experience discoloured water should flush the taps by running the water until it is clear – up to 30 minutes. Those in taller multi-residential buildings should contact their property manager. If the discolouration continues after flushing, contact 311. Minimal water pressure (40 psi or greater) will be maintained throughout repair work.

Customers who experience no water, or extreme low water pressure should contact 311.
