The pressure is on CIBC the most to get employees back in the office full time.

Easy, offer each employee a corner office and build only 4 offices per floor.

CIBC Square II - 792 ft / 241.39 m

It's hard to picture the second tower fitting in the location where it's cranes are.

One tower. Eventually will be joined to a second tower across the tracks by the bridge you can see taking shape.

Have there been any updates/progress on what the construction worker has been doing on The One.

Innsertnamehere · #**7868** Posted **Apr 22, 2022, 1:35 PM**

latest from UT. The project has actually sped up a little now that it is on to the typical hotel floors, moving at about a floor every 2 weeks.

I'm not one for corporate signage. It's standard affair in Toronto that it has become expected/desired within the Toronto community. IMO, It usually cheapens the look. I was expecting much larger signage although the new CIBC red still doesn't blend all that well with the glass facade. This is much better than the photoshopped early renderings with the old logo.

The new CIBC logo and colour can leave one confused that they own Canada Life or vice versa.

At least it's small but it does look like it will be on all 4 sides.

I wouldn't mind seeing just the diamond logo in a couple years on those towers, once the branding has more recognition amongst the populace. Of course it's not as impressive of a logo as the old one from the 60's through to the 80's, but it's a step up from that red and yellow swoop.

I doubt they would remove the text from the crown, but it would certainly lok better and less crowded.
Anyways, it'll be really something to see both these phases side by side.

I didn’t even notice the CIBC sign until Whipper mentioned it - it looks really small.

suburbanite · #**7874** Posted **Apr 22, 2022, 5:37 PM**

Company logos on buildings suck, but at least the latest iteration of CIBC's branding is exponentially better as an adornment than the previous one.

I liked the Canada trust one that seemed like it was designed just for the spire of BCE place before TD took it over.

Indeed, This tower turned out great. i'm not sold a twin sister tower of similar height will make things even better.

One of the rare situations where I am a height booster and believe a taller tower on the north side of the tracks would have been beneficial to create a tapering down towards the water.

I agree. Anoher 40 metres on the north tower would've been a great way to show some ontrast between both buildings.

WhipperSnapper · #**7879** Posted **Apr 23, 2022, 2:23 PM**

Indeed. 30 or 40 metres difference between the four peaks would have elevated the complex.

One Yonge is above ground now.
