I thought you bought a unit in this building.

Funny how a not even half-finished building can elicit such strong reactions - everything from giddy excitement to sour declarations of it being a potent symbol for everything allegedly horrible and dystopian about Canada. The drama of it all!

The irony of someone crying out “fraud” and “money laundering” when they seem to be associated with crypto!

Alternatively, Nintendo could open up a dedicated Nintendo store where a certain fruit store would have opened. This Nintendo store would be similar to Nintendo New York:

Nintendo New York is popular, not just with New Yorkers, but with tourists as well. I myself visited Nintendo New York in 2016 and liked what it offered and I felt it would be great to replicate this success in Toronto.

Eh...sure, but the retail section is still important, especially given how large this building is. When you're walking past it the first thing you'll notice is those large glass windows and whatever is behind them. Its ground presence would literally be enormous.

Now that someone with more experience is managing this building....the work will become faster....as the new PM won't buy their excuses of being late.
If they go at a pace of 1 floor a week. They have 50 floors to go so the building could top out by November 2024 and open 4 months later in March 2025.

What does that have to do with anything? I can’t talk bad about the building now that everything’s been uncovered?

Horrible and dystopian about Canadian real estate. You forgot the ending.
Not that Canada as a country is any better. I’m born Canadian, and our country is heading in the wrong direction.

How likely do you think that Apple returns to this space?
Perhaps they are waiting to re-negotiate or wait until there is more clarity when this project will be retail tenant-ready.

Surely that itinerant giant rubber ducky making the rounds could use a nice winter home/storage space.
Lotsa IG potential too.

You do know that one bloor east also switched developers midway through as well along with multiple other projects that have been completed in Toronto and to my knowledge we're not done cheaply when the new contractor took over

True only to some extent. There are lots of investors or investment-minded users on this site with a desire to better understand the real estate market. Accounting is even listed as one of the most dry/ boring professions out there by actual studies. A few select people truly enjoy it and financial statements. Of course, you will not get as many likes on a post discussing financials as you would get on an architecturally related post/pic. We are visual creatures with an eye for design. We are chasing the next dopamine-inducing photo. But even that gets old pretty quickly. If a post has substance and is making an interesting financial or engineering point or otherwise, it adds so much more value to the forum. I would argue serious/proffesional posts are the basis and set the stage for the more 'fun' posts/photography. Even architects themselves find the profession/real-world design process is way more monotonous than they envisioned in school. So appreciate everything and prepare for the big orgasmic finish where concrete shoots out and pours on one more floor. Which incidentally happens about once a week here. That seems like a healthy release rate

I don’t think that is the reason they seem to be moving faster now though I agree it might streamline and optimize the operations even further. They were doing a regular floor every 6-8 working days and now the fact that they are not doing the rebar heavy lateral walls should shave off a day or two and will probably see 4-6 day cycles depending on the weather.
