Even more proof that the on-going renos to the tower have gone terribly wrong:

Those dark balcony frames/guards will certainly help this mess a bit.
Certainly doesn't instill (aka instil) much confidence in BentallGreenOak with another HPA design: 100 Simcoe

@allengeorge doesn't stand a chance in the Professional Cynics League (sponsored by PCL) ...against @Amare . Allen has already let a couple of quasi-positive comments slip through while Amare has been batting a 1000 for years. 🫣
After the rendering vs build debacle that is Nobu... I'm sure there are still plenty of forum members with trust issues when comes to Madison. 🤒
Kinda wish this was a JV with another developer with a better delivery track record (less VEing on the resume ;-).

It's easy to click a like 👍 every time we see one of your fab drone shots... but every once in a while, after viewing so, so many of your spectacular aerials... it's time to actually type the words thank you!! 🥳
My nephew is a mole in Kerri Voumvakis' office on the 12th floor.
Apparently the new massing is inspired by the human hand .... I can sorta see it.
The draft logo isn't very welcoming but at the prices they'll be asking I can kinda understand:
They've reworked the tower, which is much thinner and taller (tops out @ 307.8572 metres)... now a largely residential building.
There are still some issues to resolve around elevators:
1. where to actually put them
2. avoiding @ProjectEnd's derisive comments regarding cab to units ratio
It's pretty clear now that one local arch firm can not only design beautiful curved glass and other materials (across multiple projects)... those curves show up in the actual builds.
Unfortunately Arcadis ain't HPA
I quite like the materials/building envelope on just one of these buildings... but 3 of them the same feels like over-kill imo. Wouldn't mind seeing some subtle variations on the theme for 2 of 'em.
Yeah this (like all) curtain-wall will obviously change depending on light conditions and angle of photos... but @tstormers chose a pov where it looked quite spectacular.

The diamonds of CIBC Square are often stunning... but also flat and borderline unattractive from some...
I can't believe I'm writing this out loud about Kirkor... but I kinda like the podium and even the busy upper floors/tower crown.
I realize when built/executed this will be a material mess, but hey Kirkor... this a historic moment in pictures for me. 🙃 Maybe I need to up my meds though.
