The new TD bank was up for debate at council last night… Reader Sylvain sent along a few photos that he took of the demolition.
Thanks for passing these along Sylvain!

Floor plan of the main floor of the new bank.
As you can see it won’t be much to look at.
It looks to me to be a bigger version of the TD that was built out in the sprawl on Walker Road in the new Home Depot plaza.
There is copy of the report that went to council last night with the drawings here.

UUUGLEEE!! Close second to the one that was the red & green monstrosity on Ouellette at Shepherd(?), now refurbished.
Hmmm. Seen designs such as this before. Does little to beautify a downtown core. But perhaps due to the image banks what to maintain. Such a shame since it deadens any corner of any city.
Urgh. It's hurting my eyes. Typical ADA stuff - has J Kavanaugh written all over it with his typical mish-mash of styles, trying to be cool - but in the end looks like all the banks they do.... a typical unaproachable square box. IT NEEDS the daylight corner just so it isn't so intrusive! God save Windsor. We get a client like this and this is all we can do!?
To the person who is using my name: I do not, nor have I ever gone by the name "Jenn Fabbro" so next time you want to be a coward and use someone elses name to post nasty comments, get the name right.
Working downtown it's refreshing to see activity like the new TD bank building......speaking for myself and others that work here, we like the design..... Not ugly at all as described here.........the building it replaced was decrepit and neglected. This is called progress.
The architects did a great job livening up the old downtown!
The old Eberweins building next to this now needs attention - it's going to detract from the new bank.
Now that progress is being made on the bank building it's looking really good, anxious to see it completed.
Hi Linda, I had a chance to walk though before the demolition and the old Eberwein's is gone. The Canada Gift Shop is the remain building.
then that needs to go too -the sooner the better ! LOL
I disagree. Demolition is not the answer. We've lost more than enough, more than we can afford. Our downtown is in shambles, due to short sighted demolitions over the years. Once the new bank is open, we're going to have two more vacant buildings in the downtown to deal with...
Hi ME you know what gets my goat is the city built that stupid Bistro in the park and now hot dog vendors and anyone else for that matter can't set up shop in the park that goes along with the whinning the dowtown bar /restaurante owners were pissing and moaning about
