for the 3rd (north) tower it would be nice if they kept with a similar glass and shape but the roof had a sort of KPF tilted element. Kinda like the Nestle tower in north york.

I agree. I hope they wait until there's enough demand to build a signature tower for the complex that is slightly taller than the other two and features a distinctive roof element. A spire or even an antenna with a nice treatment would be sufficient.

The third tower will be the shortest of the three. IIRC, shadows on Nathan Phillips Square dictated that.

You know, they announced the tenant for the ground floor space at Temperance and Yonge and I've already forgotten who it is. Google doesn't seem to be helping. Anyone with a better memory than me?

I think someone upthread said it was a new outpost of Terroni.

A bit off-topic, but as those photos remind me, I continue to be impressed with how amazing Scotia Plaza looks -- it is such a standout. (Although its distinctiveness is greatly helped by the recent sea of blue-grew glass cladding that we've endured.)

 

[Miscreant]

It's because of Scotia that I'm such a nerd about this stuff. That thing was better than magic to me when I was a kid.

BA West looks better cause of the edges. this is literally just a glass box. Also the uniformity would have looked nicer.

Atleast it's a nice shiny box

 

[Ryan_T]

I think it's a nice addition.

My first thought looking at the first photo was "where is it?" then I realized, lol...

I think that is going to be the legacy of this one. It's complete inconspicuousness on our CBD's skyline.

Now that it's nearing completion, it feels like the ground level work has slowed to a trickle. I cannot wait for that hoarding to come down along Adelaide and Yonge.
