Can't wait to see it when everything is done.

It really amazes me that nobody @ the City thought to insist the developer paid to bury the Toronto Hydro distribution wiring on Wellington St. I suppose it is POSSIBLE that TH has plans to remove it once all of the adjacent buildings are hooked up underground but ....

It's turning out marvellously from a design standpoint. I worry, though, that the retail will struggle without a strong anchor store. The location doesn't seem strong enough in terms of transit connections and pedestrian traffic to host anything more than neighbourhood retail or 9-5 retail aimed at office workers (PATH style).

Two updates with photos below. First, the courtyard entrance way to the RioCan Living rental building (Building 6, south east corner on Front Street, next to the office tower) and the largest of the Tridel condominium buildings (Building 5 - middle residential building on Front Street), is basically complete. Photos show the entrance to the courtyard, a more complete view of the courtyard itself looking west towards the lobby of the Tridel building, and then looking east towards the lobby of the RioCan Living rental building. Move-ins for the rental building start on August 1.
The good news is that there appears to be lots of off-road space for meal delivery couriers and Uber / Lyft pick up and drop off vehicles.
Second update - from Saturday. Final removal of the outside construction hoist (and some other miscellaneous equipment) from Building 4 - the Front Street Tridel condominium tower at the south-west corner of The Well site.

I’ve said it many times before, but a Pret would be perfect at this location (especially since they’re not doing so well inside an A&W)

Really not sure why some folk have a Pret obsession. Pret in UK are fairly decent with a reasonably wide selection of decent freshly made food. I have not explored many here but have found small selections of average food, and none too fresh either! Though I love the Well architecture, not sure they can, at the moment, support a cafe with lots of fresh food but .....

Only once Buildings issues a demolition permit, Heritage Preservation Services will identify it as a building of interest.

Does anyone know if they will redo the north side Wellington sidewalk to match the south?

I doubt it, the north side has a fairly wide boulevard and in-ground planters. The south side work was part of The Well development (and paid for by them). The north side is not bad, and would be better if better maintained! It does not have to match the south side and probably could not due to the different property lines..

Hi! On my morning walk I stopped by The Well. There are two new towers open now on the south side that people have been moving into since the middle of July. The Addidas store is really moving along and I guess will be the next retail space to open. Taken 1 August.
