Nice pic caltrane..i agree, MASSIVE

kinda like my-..... obsession with skyscrapers!
ya, this thing is turning out awesome. i can't get over how huge this is going to be. 78 stories?! the equivalent of a trump chicago to our skyline. the biggest thing built in a while..

 

[Miscreant]

Complete monster. So pumped for this one. Looking north on Yonge, west down Gerrard, etc., it'll just be fantastic.

Wow, since they started on the tower section, this thing is moving sooo fast! And im surprised with the cladding. when the first few panels went up i thought it looked cheap and sloppy, but seeing multiple floors clad really makes me love it....which is exactly what i said about L tower earlier

 

[vegeta_skyline]

Wow great shots!

Love the cladding, its so dark, foreboding and ominous. None of that faint-hearted and typical light gray or blue sh!t.

In this city, I'm so appreciative when I see a building going up that is not covered with grey spandrel or grey metal trim. (So I'm happy) I also love how the upper portion is angled differently than Yonge street. I hope that angle continues all the way up the tower. I also hope this complex has a number of outdoor patios for restaurants and cafes. (with all those setbacks)

It's such a dominant force on that corner. I'm not sure Toronto has another building that sits with such presence like that.

The snow was coming down and I take what I can when its the first photo shoot of the year and with less time on hand this year for shooting.

The word we're looking for here to describe this building:

Beastly.

Ah, finally coming around I see UD. Well if you must hate it, at least admire it most dominant characteristic:

Size.

i agree. that angle might just be my favorite of the project! it's crazy sharp, and the glass is stunning

I love the dark cladding on this.

This building will be such a monster.. in a good way.

 

[whatever]

In drum's snowy shots of the north side you can see one of the panels that will go between the floors. Looks pretty beige

You mean this panel?

Missed it myself until I went back to look again. Really light compared to the glass. The renders made it seem beiger.

I understand that Dr. Evil has bought the penthouse.
