Toronto 100 Yorkville at Bellair | 61.57m | 16s | Invar Building | Hariri Pontarini

15 October 2008 photo update

Various views. I like how 100 Yorkville (taller tower) reflects off 1 St Thomas, serving as bookends to Bellair. Makes Yorkville feel more intimate, imho. The townhouses should have a nice scale too over on Scollard St.

What's up with that woman in the 100 Yorkville ad? She looks pretty upset about something.

'Damn it they used pink precast!'

Anyway.. I bet it's to signal the building is sold out.

Might be a shampoo ad?

It doesn't seem to be a shampoo ad. It's definitely associated with the development.

It's a smart way of grabbing attention as you can see in gregv's picture posts, in particular his 5th photo.

To me, it looks like she's got the O Face going on.

I am kind of disappointed with these buildings... the renders showed so much potential! and i'm usually a big fan of Hariri Pontarini, but this one... the colours and quality just don't seem to hit the mark they were going for....

that said... they could make a dramatic turn around and finish beautifully, but the pink and blue just don't look anything like the beautiful bronze colour from the renders.

I love the street level though, they are one of the only developments in toronto to have hit the street very appropriately (thinks I) and I love the addition of great retail along Bellair

I am totally with you Dane

as I've noted previously, its the colours that kills this project for me ... the original bronze-themed renderings were much classier IMO

The sign says something like - no need to get stressed, we still have X number of suites starting at only $X million!!!

Townhouses on Scollard St. These will probably look ok once finished. Too bad about this stretch of Scollard from Bay to Hazelton, it's a real jumbled mess.

Are they trying to rebuild Ephesus on Scollard Avenue?

Herculaneum.

The green glass and rose coloured pre-cast give this a very retirement home feel.

That's funny, because there used to be a retirement home on this site.
