They're finally back underway in the SE corner of Telus Sky after pounding through the foundations of Art Central.

One Bloor is looking better and better as we see more progress. This could be one of the best looking urban corners in the city when all the activity is done. But that would mean an overhaul of the CIBC Tower or it's replacement as was floated around a few years back.
If only the original building on the NE corner was kept instead of the bunker RBC that's there now...

Toronto....Simply massive. There is so much going on. Crazy! Dam Bat shit crazy.
Didn't realize it but yeah, everyone of the buildings in the background was built/completed in the last 5-6 years. The oldest buildings being the Maple Leaf Square Towers (2009) just behind the Historic 60 Harbour Building.
Hudson Bay Centre was completed before the building was demolished. Just a dank, dirty old building at the time. Kinda like how we treat buildingsbuilt from that time now.
Not a bad little building. The top floor is a little strange. Wonder if it was a later addition.
I thought it was an addition as well but in this image it looks like it's part of the original. It's sad to think that building could have actually be left in place and the HBC Complex didn't need to adjust it's footprint. Just one of the many needless demolitions of Toronto's architectural history. I like to think we are taking a bit better care of our history now.
