Some shots from CIBC Square Park this past Saturday.

One thing of note, which I know has been discussed previously, is that I hope the trees do ok. Birch trees don't always fare well in urban environments and a couple of them looked like they're just hanging on. Otherwise it's a nice little spot and offers an amazing vantage point of the core, east waterfront development and beyond.

Just a general question, are these from a public city database?

Yes.

City of Toronto: Building Application Status

A source for published information on Building Permit Status.

secure.toronto.ca

It operates just like the Application Information Centre, it's based off the same platform.

You can either zoom in on the map, click a given area, and then click the various dots, or type in an address to the same affect.

In general, they will list all currently applied for permits, and permits running back about 10 years or so.

The newest permits will all start with '22' right now, as in the year.

It’s getting a little crowded

Curiously in @mburrrrr 's pic above it looks like they originally installed mounting points for a larger sign than the one they ultimately went with. See the small black dots on the outside of the curtainwall, inside the red rings. You have to look quite closely.

Also future-proofs it in case CIBC eventually moves to just using the diamond icon as the tower logo, without the wordmark, in the future. They could put a larger diamond icon in this place that would use the unused mounting points for support. Which tbh, would not surprise me if that happens in a number of years, once there's enough brand recognition (which is why the icon is always used beside the name right now, to build said brand recognition).

Silly question: Will those weirdly angled iron beam thingies directly link the bridge park to the north cores as a form of support?

That SW corner banking centre could really use some flair similar to the nicely illuminated HSBC branch at York & Bremner. At the moment it's not making for much of a memorable corner.

The last? CIBC logo was installed on the south tower.
The placement of twelve large, structural steel nodes atop the Level 3 core is complete.
Excavation of the last few footings continues on P5.

This one should really start to soar once they get past the lobby and the floorplates become more repetitive, like its sibling to the south. In a few months time, this beauty will start to make its mark.
