Block 1 I imagine is the LCBO building, and we are approaching 3 years:

Menkes' Sugar Wharf Welcomes LCBO Flagship While Towers Continue to Rise | UrbanToronto

The first phase of Menkes Developments' Sugar Wharf complex includes a virtually complete B+H Architects-designed office tower at 100 Queens Quay East — which has recently seen LCBO's flagship location move into its retail base — as well as two growing condos designed by architects—Alliance.

The retail component opened February 2022.
 
The base park is taking shape today.

Oh, the placement of the towers will be back ended. I was wondering how they going to work the park details around the eventual excavation bits...but now I know: Park is south; buildings are north. The more I know... <3

Except now there will be 3 towers directly lined up right on Downes St (the Harbour St extention), as opposed to the 1 tower rendered above.

So pretty much more density and shadowing fronting the park from the north end.

I get the former, as I am aware they've rearranged the towers...but admittedly I was having difficulty picturing where the towers where going in relation to the park. The older render gave me a clearer picture what was going on here...although I should of realized this from the layout of the elder components. Silly me... >.<

Anywhoose, as for the latter...yeah, that will be a bit of an "oversight". Although one I suspect the developers are aware of, but they likely want to focus on enriching the profit line for this project here instead. /sigh

It's a good thing the sun rarely extends shadow from the north in Toronto's specific geographic latitude. The towers gotta go somewhere.

The bland leading the bland...

If these were built up by Vaughan Metropolitan Centre they would be fine but as prominent waterfront towers, these are simply trash. I wish someone else got their hands on this land instead of condo developers.

Most towers there are more inspiring than this proposal. /sigh
 
Interesting that 2024 PFR budget has lower Yonge Park receiving $5 million in 2027. Maybe it will just remain in a base condition until then. I don't even see the project on the PFR project page with all the new parks.
 
As someone who walks along QQE quite a bit I will say that the conversion of the park area from fenced off dirt to green sod will be a massive improvement! One suggestion: can we put in a temporary cricket pitch in the warm months and a few outdoor rinks during the winter until the construction of a permanent facility begins?
