That is a cool shot. two archers. how poetic. even the pigeon the man's nose is kinda funny.

oh yes, love the bigger panels of glass above the entrance way. but why couldn't they have used this on the entire west, south, and east sides? Is there a technical reason or just cost?

ummm, wow, that's one sharp right turn at the top. this one is a stunner and the curtain wall is a real showpiece. I like how it kind of changes tone depending on the weather. If someone happens to be standing at wellington street with a camera (near Bravi, Lucien, Trevor's restaurants), the...

Awesome thanks. They'll reach 50 floors this week, so 8 more floors after that and then 5 of electrical. They should be done with the main structure in a little over 3 months by my estimation.

anyone know how many floors of electrical there are? Is 58 floors just residential or does that include the electrical?

i'm glad you're at peace. It's interesting how much angst this one building has caused so many people. I guess the whole boot thing was kind of controversial, like a big foot stomping on the city. based on the cladding so far, it's apparent to me that L will have a pretty significant impact...

wow those are great pictures. this is a beauty.

I think the frosty part is a mistake. personally, I would have gladly done without the juliet balconies (which are quite useless) and just gone with the excellent glass which really looks like ice.

yep, I think people overreacted about the cladding. it's just fine as you can see. looked good in the sudden rainstorm today as well.

love the fact that the north side has no balconies. the curtainwall will look stunning with no picnic furniture out there. and I believe none of the balconies on the other sides jut out of the building but are kind of tucked away inside so we won't have to look at too much picnic furniture...

I do like what RAW put out. I personally love that long strip of green space. unfortunately and realistically, they need to put something like the REAL SPorts Bar that Air Canada Centre has. Something double that size just to prove that bigger is always better in this world

it's too hard to tell right now but based on what I see, it's rather ugly. who knows once all the safety stuff around it is removed and the curtain wall is done. but right now, yes, the beast is a beast

looks like a cathedral. stunning.

I always thought it was a rather uninspiring building but now I realize that half of its problem is that it's surrounded by even uglier buildings and as I've said before, community is important and this battle station is just in the middle of nowhere called a community. just like Massey Tower...

it also stands out because L Tower is also located in a spot where thousands of people have to walk by and when you stand next to it, it's quite a sight. Unlike Shangrila, Four Seasons, Casa, the Ritz, there's a reason to stand at Front/Yonge (Hockey Hall of Fame, O&B, Biff's, GO Train). it'll...
