I forgot to mention that the renders really exaggerate the width of the rectangular portions of the tower.... as the model hints, they are much narrower, less "clunky" and slab-like than the renders suggest.
In a nutshell, this tower soars... and if half of it (the curved curtainwall portions in particular) are clad well, then G+C hate aside, this will be a very groovy skyscraper.
Has anyone taken a walk in this neighbourhood lately? Murano is turning into a real gem, and the canyon is almost overwhelming (at least by Canuck standards).
Throw in BA, Trump, Burano and St. Joseph X 2, 4 Seasons, perhaps 1 City Hall phase 2 and the rumoured office tower across from the ACC..... you've got unbelievable, non-stop height/density from the Gardiner to north of Bloor on Bay Street.
It's unfortunate that there's not much room at street level on Bay to make this canyon special in very many places. Luckily the sun will still find its way up Bay for part of the day.
