Not sure what the white stuff is on the ground by the tracks, but it's definitely not snow...

It's the dried-up tears of angels looking at the render, that's what it is.

Yeah, very poetic and all, but it's actually the ashes of our dreams for the waterfront. Fact.

Meh. It's just all the lather some people are working up.

Thanks for the photos casaguy.
What a disappointing development for our waterfront. Definitely more business park looking.
I wonder if 102.1 will be moving there from their Eaton Centre location.

What a sad showcase building. I can't believe the city is financing this.

Some shady deals were pulled to get this one off the ground.

You realize that scheme goes back to the 60s, don't you?

I love the absolute embrace of the car in that old render.

Thanks for that and all the other updates CN.

This is much better. I mean, why can't an office building just look like an office building? .

 

[Urban Shocker]

Indeed. I always thought it was a shame this didn't get built. There's something quite 300 Front West in the arrangement of the stepped-down tower on the left and the lower building next to it - our Modernist roots are still showing as strongly as ever.

Talk about 'could be anywhere architecture'. That could be a plan for Toronto, Michigan, a California suburb or Tampa during the 1960's.

Hmm I get a distinct Canadian feel when I look at that photo actually.

How and in what way?

 

[maestro]

can't agree with the Canadian look at all .. in fact, it looks screwball European the most

Just looks the way Toronto was designing things in the 60's.
Although I could see this in Montreal as well.
