Really cool shot. Please post more of these as the building progresses! That parking garage will only be good to take shots from for a few more months, so these shots are gold ![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

Of parking?
I was in the Bloor/Yonge area yesterday and the impact this will have on the street experience will be incredible. Once the large podium is up and the tower begins to rise we'll have a good idea of how it'll feel from the street. It'll be very 'big city.'
True, but Yonge and Bloor seems quite pleasant with the open corner. It's sunny, it doesn't seem as windy as other downtown intersections with high-rise buildings on all the corners. It's more human. Even with the open corner, Yonge and Bloor has the most "big city" feel of any intersection in the impressive volume of people and vehicles that pass through it throughout the day. Other intersections with fewer people can make up for it with large buildings for that "big city" feel, but Yonge and Bloor doesn't need it and might be better off without it. It could have used a public square.

Public squares highlight the buildings around them, and there's nothing worth celebrating at this spot. Thank goodness One Bloor is going up.
