Is that the south side? I was by there on the streetcar last week and it I could have sworn most of the windows on the front (north side) were gone.

It is the north side, taken from near Chaplin Cres., I can't see the lower half due to trees.

If the replacement *isn't* green, they blew it.

So I was flicking through SkyJacked's recent pictures on twitter when this caught my eye:
@SkyJacked793
That crane just south of Imperial Plaza, is that for the terrible new tower they plan on building (see page 6)?

Has anyone been by here lately? It looks like they've replaced the green glass up top with an aqua-green type spandrel.

Another example in which the current heritage system doesn't work. A report was issued on August 18, 2011, "Intention to Designate", (http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2011/te/bgrd/backgroundfile-40063.pdf), and the building is currently designated, presumably with a Heritage Easement Agreement. http://app.toronto.ca/HeritagePreservation/details.do?folderRsn=2432359&propertyRsn=202877
In any case, this spandralization of the PH has totally ruined the aesthetics of the tower (even more than the colour change) by replacing the verticality of the original design into a series of punched windows. This is one case where large vertical pieces of curtain-wall should have been used. It's as if the City permitted the copper roof of the Old City Hall to be replaced with asphalt shingles. Why is there no aesthetic control when it comes to Modernist buildings?
