Just a note to say that things are progressing here. The proponent submitted refined plans re: SPA for the 49-storey version back in May, got comments back from the over the summer, and have submitted responses to the City just in the last week. All technical in nature. No fab new renderings...

Old Eaton's campaign. 42

Well sure, Purple was great 45 minutes ago, but now you've unleashed the vintage TTC crowd, and they'll have nothing but maroon and cream! TL/dr for City Parks Dept types: We want umbrellas! 42

Purple?!?!?!? That's crazy talk. Orange is the only way to go here! Source Also perfect for much larger drinks: Well, that's enough of that. I'll see myself out. 42

Ehhh, not enough people are engaging with this dust up, so I'm just going to fight with myself (and @Towered too, for the helluvit). Teal?!?! Turquoise?!?!?!? Clearly the Shipping Channel (and, apparently, Greenwich) is the perfect backdrop for Purple. And, AND, it's perfect for your...

It's go big or go home in Ajax! New proposal coming our way from Van Dusen Realty Holdings at Bayly and Westney, so within walking distance of Ajax GO, so it's GO big and GO home here? Ehh?! Ehh?! Ahhhhh, sorry about that... front page story here! 42

You can always go to the Database box at the top of a page for the address, or click on the title and go to the Database page where there's a map that locates generally within the city. Click on the map, and you get a close-up. 42

Funnily enough, even though Redwood's own website for this development is gone, their overall webpage still links to it... so, along with that and the crane and the linked coverage from May (thank you @futurebound) I've switched this to UC, changed the tenure to rental, and noted the crane! 42

A little higher res on the main rendering, looking west: Front page story is here. 42

The Province has never given any city the power to reject proposals based on their looks: Hamilton (and other cities in Ontario) can only refuse if the designs don't meet various building codes. 42

The now rigorously applied scalloping of the exterior, plus the faux oxidized-copper colour of the framing on the podium has me rather excited about this design: it's total swinging 60s here if they can pull this off as rendered! Front page story here. 42

I believe that most respondents in this thread would prefer to stick to details of new cycling infrastructure, without having to be feel like their every post is going to be held up for debate by another member throwing around statistics and claims that are untethered to any reviewable studies...
