In this video I checked out Toronto's new spot, The Well, as well as Wellington Market food hall, and Arcadia Earth. Join me as I explore the property and try things out.

Just so people know. It's called the Well because underneath parking level6 in D/C building there is a approximately 40' diameter well that goes down around 150' to allow Lake Ontario to fill this well.
This water is used in a process called enwave that uses the lake water to heat and cool many buildings in the DT core.
It was really something to see when I was building this place back in 2020/2021.

Sky Dome for Life! Nice walk through, I agree we need more spaces like this in the city!

Great video showcasing The Well!
I found an article that shows it's named The Well because (1) it is on Wellington Street, and (2) there is an underground thermal well that heats and cools the surrounding buildings.

Hot damn. Didn't know Toronto got this - it looks amazing! Will have to come and visit from Hamilton. Thanks for the honest, chill, and family oriented introduction to the Well

My first thought was Wellington Street, the Arcadia Earth is something that is similar to some areas of Japan....cool about the well info provided here...thanks

I Love Toronto as a recent visit, the markets and diversity as a City is amazing!

Nice job! I need to try it out. Oh, and thanks for calling it 'Skydome' :)

Loved this place. You're right, the footway-bridges as well as indoor-outdoor mixed design makes this feel very "VERTICAL", in the sense that as you walk around, suddenly new views open around the corner.

I do wish the designs were more ornate though, haha, but the archways at least makes it a stand out from just boxes and rectangles. And hope they have more unique business there like some artisanal arts and foods stores, instead of just trying to make a generic mall.

Great video, agree with your points overall.

Amazing to find another Toronto creator!

Beautiful and unique mall. I'm visiting Toronto soon and I'll check this place out.

Oh I am definitely going to visit The Well soon after watching this. Thanks for a very good walkthrough and description.

I'm really happy to see Isabella's doing well. I remember when they had the single boutique restaurant in the East end of the beaches. I went there a few times and I loved every time. When they closed down I was really sad because the owners were so kind and friendly. Knowing that they only shut down the restaurant to focus on the mochi donuts makes me a lot happier to know that they're keeping their dream alive!

Also I like how you called it the Skydome instead of the rogers center. I will never call it rogers center. Ever. It will forever be the Skydome in my mind

Great video! I'm glad I did a search instead of relying on the algorithm to show me your channel. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

This video is done really good. Really good information as well. I subscribed watching this video.

[MichaelDriedger]

It's called the Well because it has a massive underground well beneath the complex used for thermal cooling and heating - part of Toronto's deep lake cooling throughout the downtown. This is by far the coolest - pun intended - part of the whole project! I can't believe you missed that during your research.

Thank you for this thorough and honest review!

[MissAynneK]

Ohhh! I've been eyeing this place from the GO train everytime I come downtown! This vid is great cus now I'm definitely going to make a point of checking it out

[jackiemckeown]

I think it might be called "The Well" because it straddles Front and Wellington. :-)

[aldoussilva]

I gave you a thumbs up, just for calling it SkyDome! 2 thumbs up if I could!

Riocan is one of the best developers in Canada.
Glad you showed it.
Beautiful structure.
