Meanwhile, other large sites are going up elsewhere in the lower city, like this 28 floor condo tower by the Scottish Rites building (west) Monday, Hamilton by Josh Kennington Photographics, on Flickr
Bathurst Quay Revitalization | City of Toronto | Kearns Mancini l u/c
Beautiful restoration of the silos including the reanimation of the Canada Malting typeface.
The Canada Ireland Foundation has secured $5million in new funding towards an Irish cultural centre called the Corleck Centre, located just west of the silos. They also just received another $2million donation from the Government of Ireland to support the project.
Hope the City finds the money to move forward this fab waterfront public realm addition to Bathurst Quay (which incorporates a large existing pier to the east of the silos with a now closed underwater parking lot).
Cool to see the Academic Wood Tower go up. An architect friend of ours was involved in the initial designs and while I don't claim to understand the specifics there's some neat engineering work involved to tie into the existing structure.
Was at Rorschach brewing the other week and had no idea Queen and Ashbridge was a thing - looked pretty good in person.

Just a bit of brick cladding and some glazing where the hoist lived to finish all exterior elements of The Well. Concord Canada House photo-bombing on the right.
Race to the top…. check out how close together these 2 Distillery District construction projects are (The Goode on the right and No. 31 Condos on the left).
