Got a peek inside the future Apple store from outside off James Street. I really wish they’d open it up to the exterior!

Does MetroMan know you’re stomping on his turf?

I had no idea that big ole blank wall was being replaced by glass! A welcome change.

The Power Centre In Markham streetscape is quite fetching!

That Uniqlo wall space is begging for a screen.

The transformation of Eaton Centre’s Yonge St facade has been evolving over decades from having its back turned on to Yonge initially to gradually opening up in the 2000’s and finally achieving that goal now. It’s no longer a blank wall, sucking the life off Yonge. Some work still left to be done on the southern half but 2 Queen W will help quite a bit in that regard.

I do wish that the Uniqlo sign would be taken down, in order to continue the rounded corner right down to the street level. It would create an interesting display space for Samsung on the ground floor, and could feature some display space for Uniqlo above.

Other than that, i'm pretty happy with how this is turning out.

Agreed but does it have to be a jumbled up mess in the process? It looks like a patchwork of the different eras

I think that facade diversity adds to the neighbourhood by breaking up the mall from a monolithic block to several storefronts with their own looks like on any other street.
