^^^ Is this going to be re-built/re-created as part of the new condo? Hope so.

Here's how the renderings originally portrayed the base to be like. I was under the impression that the facades were supposed to be retained. However, with the fire on the eastern section of the site earlier and what now even looks like the demolition of the corner house, I'm not sure what the end result will be like now.

From the pictures above, it looks like they stripped the outer brickwork from the corner house- it will likely be a reconstruction I think- or accurately- a resurrection.

I imagine they will do what they did at Core Condos across the street, and rebuild replica facades after.

Solid build/design but the tower cantilever over the rebuilt "historical" base is.. a bit terrifying. I know we have few earthquakes (plus have flawless engineering of course) but I might offer hard hats to street level tenants. Cool but scary.

Are they rebuilding the heritage facade or is it completely gone at this point? If so, shouldn't they redesign the podium and affected areas? The initial design doesn't seem to be practical.

I guess that's "History. Reimagined."

It appeared the exterior bricks were removed before demolition. So it'll be a fauxcade.

If they can pull it off like Core Condos did it, I’d be fine with it.

I passed by the site yesterday, and it looks like excavation is imminent. Equipment on site.
