TORONTO | Ontario Court of Justice Toronto | 96 M |17 FLOORS
 

A new courthouse is beginning construction right near City Hall. It plans to consolidate several existing courthouses scattered across the city into one building, and a thorough planning process was made into making sure this would be a safe, attractive and inviting space for the public, court officials and staff, and prisoners/ the accused.

Here's the Infrastructure Ontario page which brings much more info on the project;

And a construction update;

The architect of record is Renzo Piano;

And the site, formerly a parking lot, has undergone archaeological work and is now nearly done with excavation;
