A bit of a different angle, taken from the 16th floor of Ultima tower:

Nice!

Black Star · #**3023** Posted **Aug 29, 2016, 6:06 PM**

Really cool......

I still think the new arena looks like it's inspired by Haida artwork and would have been a perfect venue for the Cannucks.

I didn't see it before, but now that you mention it...

Is that darker section by the window with the colour banding going on an LED screen?

TorontoDrew · #**3027** Posted **Aug 29, 2016, 9:12 PM**

LED where it's dark, window below.

Cool! That's a nice detail I didn't know about before.

The outdoor screen idea will show playoff games (insert joke yeah yeah yeah), olympics, world cup and other major sporting events... or maybe Bogs from time to time.

That's really cool! Maybe they can show this on a loop?

A plaza outside of an arena and big screen kinda go hand in hand nowadays. To not build one here would be worse than the permanent stripes on New Mosaic's turf.

This really is the coolest looking stadium in the country. Makes all the others look so utilitarian.

Wonder where they got the idea?

itom 987 · #**3034** Posted **Aug 30, 2016, 2:04 AM**

They got the idea from LA Live.

WhipperSnapper · #**3035** Posted **Aug 30, 2016, 2:15 AM**

Yep

I'm confused. Are you implying that The One could start construction soon but will be at risk of being stalled/cancelled?

I didn't know there will be a cinema there. This will be a pretty happening place!

Coldrsx · #**3038** Posted **Aug 30, 2016, 1:16 PM**

Apologies for partial derail with arena stuff, back to tall stuff. Just a bit exciting over here, that's all.

I'm saying I expect excavation to start by the end of the year and it will be listed as under construction in the database even though they applied for a stand alone excavation. I fully expect the retail and residential to follow in some form or another. Great Gulf sold the retail at One Bloor East for $200 million!

Did this just happen? - 200 million, they didn't even pay that much for the lot.
