      I don’t disagree, but this building actually looks beautiful now if you go see it. It’s got a fresh coat of white paint and black accents. I pass by it on the train almost everyday

    I would love to see a follow up on what happened to the building after the move. Is that spot permanent? Or will it move back? Will columns be reinstalled underneath or will it sit on the beams? Thank you.

      Do you have a point? Other than proving you can do math…

      building is 5 million lbs. Steel support was 1.2 million pounds. I guess comprehension isnt your strong point.

    Fantastic video! It's great seeing older buildings being given a new lease on life with new projects.

    Back in the 1960s, I remember seeing Kodak in full swing. I lived on Green Tree Court just off of Trethewy right opposite Eglinton.

    love the work but no wonder the crosstown project is is over budget and delayed. Way easier to just demo and build new.
