Black or Dark Grey Granite stone walls will be a much more impressive than this ugly white podium. ... looks bland...the rest is awesome

I'd rather they demolished the podium and built a better version of this:

The Pudium should had been covered in black granite to match those new black vertical stripes.

Any picture of how was the original podium?

I think I just about prefer the new podium cladding, but neither is great for me.

ScraperDude · February 22nd, 2012, 10:21 AM

Wow! finally done! it looks like new. I agree with most people on the podium... stark white and boring. Would have been cool if they at least had translucent panels with RGB LEDs behind them to give it a different look and street presence at night. But then again it seems like everyone is putting LEDs on anything that stands still.

I like " Isaidso' s idea much much more now ... A big fountain and a little parky park ... wow

Kimiwind1184 · February 23rd, 2012, 01:41 AM

Looks much better. Really nice with this shiny glass.
I like the idea.

tim1807 · February 23rd, 2012, 09:37 AM

A new cladding and the podium is brand new.

ZLK · February 23rd, 2012, 02:34 PM

The tower looks stunning now ... They really did a great job on this.

mclancer · March 24th, 2012, 08:37 AM

They should have added 2m or another floor to be Canada's first supertall.

***Chad*** · March 24th, 2012, 07:16 PM

Couldnt agree more, may even be just an extra glass fin.

lezgotolondon · March 26th, 2012, 12:06 AM

awesome! i like a lot the new cladding!

singoone · March 26th, 2012, 10:28 AM

Wow, the cladding is totally awesome! Really polished and glosssy.

moustache · March 26th, 2012, 10:34 AM

So so ugly cladding. Back in the worst 70's ...

Nice to see they're repainting the TD center. If only 1 Liberty Plaza would follow suit.

But this project was completed long ago, shouldn't it be moved to archives?

Innsertnamehere · July 28th, 2012, 07:36 PM

there has been minor work on the base for a while, but I think that it is finally finsished.
