can you provide the source for this quarterly report? Is it colliers'; cushman wakefield? Other? I'm actually doing some research on this topic. Thanks.

And thus the old building lets out its last breath of life.. Soon to be reincarnated as a much larger one.

Only part of the exterior wall will be rebuilt. 99% of the building will be lost forever.

I fixed the pictures so you suckers don't have to crank your necks anymore. Myeah, see!

Even though it won't have that much impact on the skyline I hope they manage to keep all the odd angles in this one--as an example more than anything.

I wish everyone could start showing pieces of the actual cladding in their proposals before they get approved.maybe a 6'x6' if feasible. I'm hoping this project in particular has enough reflectivity to show off the angles.

^Wouldn't that be rather expensive? Creating a one-off piece before mass production begins would be rather pointless.

Full-size "Visual Mock-ups" (VMU's) are the norm in the industry so that the architect and building owner can see the window and mullion colours under different lighting conditions. I would hate to get the city bureaucracy involved in this process.

Thanks - looks like the front facade has morphed into a "hood".
Nice big brother to Oxford's MNP Tower in Vancouver.

Sad sad sad. The current building is one of my faves in the CBD.

Can't wait! Best designed office tower to go up in Toronto in a few decades!

I agree, going to look sharp from NPS

The pizza place closes tomorrow.

I checked out the building for office space last year and that pizza place was very annoying. You could smell the pizza all through the building which would have kept me perpetually hungry I think.

Strange, the art deco building has 16 floors in real life but it's facade is only 13 floors in that model?

The deco building is being demolished. A replica with original limestone accents will be incorporated in the new tower.
