Aqualuna Duplication by kotsy, on Flickr

While we were all busy using the lake to reflect the building, @kotsy was like, "Hold my beer...."

Swan Lake. (Two white beauties just landed near the right side in this image).

Reflecting on Aqualuna. (Inverted, flipped).

A nice (much needed) splash of colour.

^^^ Quite the multi-million dollar view! I kid, it'll be really nice in 10-20 years.

Us silo geeks will take this view with no regrets!

Won't the silo be at least partially hidden eventually by other buildings planned nearby?

Us partially hidden silo geeks will take that view with no regrets!

No. There’s a park planned right in front of the silo. It’s there forever.

The yellow leaves in the tree below are drought stress:

This above shot only shows 3 dead ones though, see below, the majority around Sherbourne Common are in good shape:

I'm following along w/the video..........next shot (south side of the building shows 1 distressed tree)

Next shot further along.... really doesn't look too bad:

Still looking pretty good at Sugar Beach:

This is the section just east of the Yonge St Slip - 1 severely distressed/dying tree:

Thanks for the video tour.

I will say though, I think the trees are in better health, overall than you think. There is a small concentration of problematic ones in/around Sherbourne Common and a few others could be better, but really the majority are doing pretty well, especially when compared with 2-3 years ago.

unfortunately not. at least a dozen trees have been cut down along this stretch of the waterfront

Better than Cherry St. / Distillery Loop over the years ...

A dozen over the entire promenade? Or just around Sherbourne Commons?

A dozen is exactly what I estimated would be removed over the entire promenade, just a few posts up from the one you quoted:

Aqualuna at Bayside | 61.87m | 18s | Tridel | 3XN

Also does anyone know what happened to the trees along this part of the waterfront? almost half are dead or dying, really sad. Many are marked to be cut down Which ones? I was here just 5 weeks ago, and they were the healthiest I've seen in ages: From July 22nd, 2025: There are...

If they nicked a dozen right near Sherbourne Common the trees must have deteriorated drastically since my last walk there.

The did, finally, cut down the more obvious of the dead trees, now to get them to plant replacements and keep a better eye on this fantastic 'promenade' - I agree that sick trees should be observed but several of those 'topped' a few months ago had been dead for well over a year.

It's almost tragically funny walking through the former Pan Am athletes village and seeing all the country trees that are now stumps.

the transformation of this view will be insane. I think it’d be interesting moving there and seeing the view change year by year. In 20 years it will be unrecognizable
