I'd love to see a condo built in this city with cladding in that triangle shape.

 

[Dan416]

I'm afraid a sexy building like this would be under threat of undergoing The Cheapening(TM).

 

[Hydrogen]

Yes. Tin foil for cladding.

 

[adma]

Wait wait wait - you're telling me that someone thought of asymmetrical buildings before Gehry did? Nonsense!

Sure. We can go back to ancient Greece, at least

 

[wbaggia]

going back to the international competition idea. didn't fernbrook do one and got the absolute towers in mississauga? think it was a japanese team that one it. correct me if i'm wrong.

Too true, but that should not stop the striving for triangularly windowed towers.

PS - Another approved use of The Cheapeningâ„¢.

Maybe they are getting ready to make a big statement with Signature.

Tall sells in this city.

 

[Filip]

Perspective is everything. BMO is a good 500 meters to the north, making it appear shorter.

 

[ProjectEnd]

I believe it is listed on UrbanDB as being 217m - slightly shorter than BAC 1.

Ignore all the old stats, the building will not be the same as what was initially proposed a couple of years ago.

I have to agree, the word is that it is being totally redesigned and some of the density is being transfered from other parts of the greater site. I hope this is correct - if not, then why the big delay?

Plus the Photo shows Signature as approx. 33% taller than the next tallest at City Place which I think is West One at 155 mteres which means it could be at least as tall as Aura maybe as tall as 1 Bloor.

Which delay are you referring to? The plan was always to sell Signature last.

 

[grey]

Yeah, we've known all that stuff for more than a year now.

 

[interchange42]

All of the CityPlace towers have been rendered just a tad too tall in that pic. It's a sales thing.
