Revolting. Depressing.

is that too bad? how about the rest of the building? the front? it does not look too bad in my opinion, I think it is a good addition to the area
A couple of guys working on the east wall today. Smoothing down a couple of spots where the concrete blew out. So maybe they will finish the full wall.

Nothing an iPod ad can't fix.

It would still look bad on the side, and I think the good people at Illegalsigns.ca would probably find fault. Lastly, giant iPod ads seem so early 2000s.

It's not that bad. It will be covered within a decade by another building, imho.

Looking forward to a FRESH START for Toronto
It definitely will. They'd be stupid to put windows or anything on that side - it's undoubtedly going to be covered up as soon as the auto shop there gets the right offer from a developer.

Of course they are not going to put windows on that side and I am sure their building permit would not permit it anyway BUT to leave a 'concrete block' wall looming over Jarvis/Queen is really dreadful. Yes, one day that auto-repair site will be redeveloped but it could be decades and it really is not a great site as it is on a very busy corner and overlooks a shelter.
Let's hope they are still not finished - but I rather fear they are....

It's not really a (leaky) concrete block wall though. It's just a finish that looks vaguely like a concrete block wall. I think it's a little fussy to be so wrapped up with a wall that will one day be covered by another building. I don't know why a developer should waste even more money on it. And, if it takes a decade than so be it. It will be covered.
Yes but what about the other side where I doubt they will ever building something else? It looks equally unfinished.

I guess you'll just have to live with it.

Agreed. Eye sore status is only temporary. We actually won't even notice the building at all once the new condo is built right beside it!
