Newslink to Sight Here : Studio Daniel Libeskind
Toronto, Canada: October 9, 2012 – On Wednesday, October 10, Daniel Libeskind’s L Tower will become an aerial playground as five members of the Vancouver-based Aeriosa Dance Society whirl and twirl down its north façade to the sounds of J.S. Bach’s ethereal "Six Suites for Unaccompanied Cello,” played live by Toronto musician Liza MeClellan.
The performance kicks off the L Tower’s “topping out” ceremony marking the completion of the skyscraper’s skeletal structure and almost half of its glass-and-steel façade. The 58-story, -unit condominium designed by Mr. Libeskind with Page + Steele/IBA Architects for Ferncastle (Front Street), Inc., will welcome residents in 2013.
The tower, located at the intersection of Yonge Street and The Esplanade, is part of the redevelopment of the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts. A Partnership with Ferncastle (Front Street) INC raised capital for the Restoration and Renovation of the Sony Centre (Phase 1, Theatre interiors were completed in 2010). Phase 2 including new back-of-house facilities located beneath a new public plaza which will reach completion along with the tower. The L Tower was designed to be an architectural transition between the skyscrapers of the financial district to the west and the historic residential St. Lawrence neighborhood to the east. A 5000 square-feet public plaza along the redevelopment’s west side will serve as an additional public space for the theater, L Tower residents and the downtown community.
Don't forget, I'll be down at the site tonight to catch pictures of all the action. Should be a very exciting time, I'll do the best to get some video as well, as my camera doesn't exactly capture night time images that well. Should be wonderful, and this has got to be one of the best skyscrapers ever built in Toronto. Those lucky residents of this tower should also be there to check out how popular their new home will be with Torontoians at large as well.
