I hope they make that corner really cool and inviting. Plus, what can they do along Cityplace and the roadway there to make it not seem like a "tunnel" between two buildings?

And yes the shape of tower 2 is coming through quite well now.

I have commented several times how I feel the TNS site should have been mirrored east-west with a larger opening on Hargrave instead of Carlton. On game/event night Hargrave north of the parkade could be closed like it is post-game and the plaza of TNS could have taken over the street. CityPlace could have been given a special targeted grant to do something like street fronting cafes on that stretch and it would have really changed the whole area. That said True North, et all don't own CityPlace and doing something like that would benefit another property owner so it is bad. Having the green space open onto Carlton opposite the RWB student residence has minimal impact on competition with True North, matter of fact the rumors are they own the old Hull books and stand to benefit down the line from developing that, something that would have been a lot harder to accomplish if the giant wall of the development fronted onto Carlton.
