Omg, that photo almost gave me an instant heart attack!
For a moment I thought that awful minty green spandrel privacy fence on the top of that penthouse terrace was part of the building!😳🤣
The vegetation is an integral of the building design and will be built.
Unlike some of the many residential towers that feature landscaped balcony and terraces, which many have failed or have maintenance issues, the design team on this project (landscape architects, engineers, etc., along with...
Why would you think the builder is going to default?
Madison Group is a large company with many projects going on in the gta, including a recently announced huge development on Eglinton with renowned international firm, Rafael Viñoly Architects.
Wow, a cheap knockoff of 1BE oddly perched on a 1980s generic office building. At least it doesn’t look like a grouping of diseased 1BE buildings they did in Vaughan. It’s 65-storeys too tall! It’s like they are turning St. James Park into Central Park.
Checking out Arcadis’ website and it’s...
I used to live in the US and that wall finish, called knockdown drywall texture, is really popular there and drove me crazy whenever I see it. The corners are also rounded so that there is less labour in creating a perfect straight sharp corner. It looks like rustic stucco finish that belongs on...
Nice view, but I have no seller’s remorse at all (I had an outside corner unit on a high floor similar to yours). I bought at KING Toronto as I prefer that area more (and of course the building) and wanted lots more outdoor space rather than the tiny obscured balconies at Nobu.

No, the hotel entrance is on the northwest corner (off the driveway) in front of the residential entrance of the west tower.
I’m still shocked at how they badly they butchered the tops of the towers. It looks like they simply gave up and slapped on whatever they can get. And this is the most...
There are lots of condos in the city that have exposed concrete ceilings. I actually like them if they are done right, but look absolutely horrible if improperly finished. I live in a soft loft and the concrete ceilings complete the modern industrial aesthetics. I had to brush on a layer of...
The purple mech-PH lights at Luna does look good (as seen in 3dementia’s photo) as it highlights selected glazing panels creating an interesting pattern on the glazed facade. I don’t mind seeing the mechanical equipment as long as it looks cool and it’s kept in a good and tidy state. I remember...
I have been a longtime fan of Murakami’s work, and though his colourful smiley flowers have been a major theme to his work (it has nothing to do with gay pride) he is inspired by ancient and traditional Ukiyo-e Japanese art, often rooted in mythology, and interprets then in a contemporary pop or...
I like the concept at CityPlace but all that was done was installing coloured lights to the mechanical penthouse levels which at certain angles, and especially seen from other condos, highlights the not so attractive mechanical equipment and other stuff inside. Adding a simple frosted film (or...
