Nice! Glass mullion system and what looks like terracotta cladding! And look at all the curved glass on the towers!

Could the windowless building be a Simons department store?

Hmm, don't know about that exactly, but…

We have more than doubled the number of renderings of The Well in the dataBase file linked at the top of the page. There will be a number there you probably have not seen before, and we have a new front page story up here.

I am a big fan of those floor tiles in the corner and on the sidewalk.

Looks like a movie theatre (to me)... I would think that leasing priority would be the office tower instead of retail.

This may be OT for this thread, but does anyone know which 3 office towers were approved today at City Council?

Three office developments on Front and King streets that will add a total of 114 storeys of commercial space were approved, as were five mixed-use buildings and several condo towers.

The Well office tower has not been approved,
they are most likely talking about.....489-499 King Street West (12s/Office) http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2014.TE34.13

I don't think I've seen this rendering anywhere; not sure if it's been posted before:

They really need to stop with those grass sidewalks in the core. It feels so suburban.

 

[innsertnamehere]

its a linear park, not grass sidewalk.

the office tower in the above image is likely Hariri's early version, and has probably since been replaced by the version we know.

 

[Bad Bear]

I'm talking about the last photo, and take a look at the post #242, that doesn't seems a linear park to me but rather grass sidewalk.

 

[innsertnamehere]

its a preliminary render by an architect. They aren't going to be going into super detail on the park space.

I think it's a lawn strip between the sidewalk and the street. I agree it should at least be a wider sidewalk with trees rather than lawn. Which may turn into a mud/dust strip. However this is only a prelim rendering I'm certain. The buildings look great and will recharge this area.
