It must be getting close to completion, as the signs have been installed. Will be an addition to the Access Storage chain. Sorry no pic as I was driving.

I shudder when I look at the precast panels. I can't help but think that the Very Clever Architects failed Lego 101:

It's a nice touch but it was recreated, not restored, as was the entire 2-storey brick facade.

Went by it this afternoon, the balloons were still up 😅

And it's still not completed! Any guesses why it's taking so long? The massive The Well project was built faster than this, I mean that quite literally.

Demolition well underway on 22 May

Wow, there goes the neighbourhood. QSW's coolness quotient is officially dead. :(

This would look cool as a Lego MOC. In real life, not so much.

The marked-up 1950 aerial photo shows that these bizarre puny on/off ramps were just a repurposed existing street. Surely this wasn't best practices for highway engineering even in 1950. source: http://jpeg2000.eloquent-systems.com/toronto.html?image=ser12/s0012_fl1950_it0008f.jp2

Meanwhile, there's a huge parking lot on the other side of Bathurst that persists. That land could get put to good use with zero negative impacts for anybody.

I frankly am really bored of the whole "the new must clash as hideously as possible with the old" notion and this design is a most welcome correction.

A shame most of the photos are now gone.

532 Front's been a survivor but not for much longer, it seems. I suppose that knocking it down is a kinder fate than a ghastly facadectomy.
