This project seems to be taking a long time.

 

[WislaHD]

This project looks like the design work was passed off to some of the junior architects at HP.

What a nice neighbourhood.

 

[TheKingEast]

looks pretty good.

 

[ehlow]

Really nice addition to this intersection

 

[UrbanAffair]

I was going to say the same thing. Great looking building. HP does it again, (and different every time which is refreshing unlike many other groups --not naming names.)

 

[Towered]

That corner desperately needs some densification.

This development is taking forever.

They're a step ahead of the L Tower - they managed to get the crane down.

3018 can be seen where the street bends.

That's such an odd effect, as Yonge does not actually curve or bend at Lawrence! That's entirely the effect go the hilly topography there (and is even more pronounced in the shots that @salsa included in the Aura post).

Yeah that's what I thought too. But upon further scrutiny it turns out that Yonge is not as perfectly straight as it seems to be.

It's a very small bend, but it appears much bigger when you look at it from this angle. In Apple Maps I managed to get the same effect.

Huh. Maybe it is a degree off. Nothing like what occurs at Heath Street, but still something. Ah, well, the surveying parties were well supplied with ale.
