Toronto Sun Life Financial Tower & Harbour Plaza Residences | 236.51m | 67s | Menkes | Sweeny &Co

That first picture is great with the alignment of the office and residential buildings. Scan over quickly and you might think there was a mirror. Great spot to revisit once the Harbour Plaza buildings are complete.
 
The residential towers are beautiful! Might I say the balconies look even better than One Bloor. Mind you, there have been much more installed here so it's not really fair to compare between the two.
 
Having only seen pictures of them since they really started to gain some height this past Xmas, I was struck by how much better they look in person when I was down there yesterday. In pictures I find the spandrel really sticks out and the balconies can look messy. But in person I find the balconies sharp, the spandrel hidden, and the towers really striking. They look awesome.

42 had a couple similar, but posting these as we rarely see progress from the SE looking NW. I know a lot of people rag on windowless podiums, but I don't mind it here; feels location-appropriate and I happen to like the finish (at the very least, it presents a somewhat different podium typology and I'm getting very bored of the currently prevailing typology). I also like how the PATH bridge design carries through, erm...unabridged (sorry).

I know what you mean.
Very bold, dramatic, and well executed. These look fantastic.
