exactly... at least the tops are not just going to be left as a dog's breakfast like so many others have been. other than that they are a crime against architecture.

agreed! and I would even take that exact same reddish colour to help break up the sea of blue and white on the waterfront.

enough with the all glass buildings. the only look good when contrasted against masonry or concrete buildings nearby. when you have nothing but glass buildings it becomes completely soulless.

the entire venture is about minimizing costs and maximizing profit with zero regard for architecture or what this gives back to the city. you know, pretty much standard Toronto development practice 95% of the time.

what a bizarre design. looks like somebody was trying way too hard. this is like a modern version of baroque.

how many blocks to the nearest tree?

just found this video, although it is from 2 years ago. sorry if it was posted before, but perhaps some newer members wouldnt have seen it.

I'd love to see the stats you are referring to there... Toronto lovers enjoy skewing stats to make themselves feel more important that they actually are. just for comparison I found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population_density for the US. And we havent...

this is looking cool... I wish they would build a lot more of these uniquely shaped buildings on the waterfront. I understand the concept of the angles and balcony layouts to maximize views for every unit. however, in reality for the people living there, they have zero privacy on their...

how many times can they build the same building in a 4 block radius??? what passes for architecture here is a joke. and the fact that people eat them up and get excited over it is tragic comedy.

they had to do something to break up the otherwise boxy monotony! it's unfortunate they couldnt have given this thing some different colour from the other dozens of neighbouring buildings as well.

amazing... this utilitarian shlock that gets passed off as architecture in Canada / Toronto. just imagine how great this development could be with real vision and real design!

so we are going to have a forest of these bland, repetitive and rather tall buildings blocking out the entire waterfront / views from the water now? Menkes needs to be stopped because they are an absolute blight on the cityscape.
