^jeez, are there *any* windows on the west side of the building? That is the most spandrel I think I have ever seen on a single facade.

too bad it's not black.

 

[UrbanAffair]

More "gris" then "noir"?

 

[Miscreant]

Well, at least this'll be blocked by the development replacing the MEC building.

 

[TheKingEast]

This is worse than I had first thought. Yikes! At least it will be blocked in eventually when other projects go up.

87 Peter Street PDI's are now underway. According to personnel on site, initial occupancy is expected to be the week of August 27.

And the sidewalk in front of 87 Peter has now almost completely reopened. The closed off component seems to be used primarily for equipment and building construction access.

Bleak:

yup - that is one sad ground floor. I wouldn't want that to be the entrance to my condo..

 

[neuhaus]

That's one very bleak- and depressing-looking street level. It's like a continuous strip of service entrances.

And no doubt, the Menkes family are very proud of themselves.

YEP! Keep those profits coming!

My gosh, is that awful. It looks like the back of a building, not the public front on a prominent street. Yes, we can blame Menkes but the architect Core should also be blamed and shamed. This is really a low point for both of them.

 

[LUVIT!]

Surely there will be retail here no? (Don't call me Shirley)

This is typical Menkes though. Go look at their most recently completed projects... they suck at ground level. They literally don’t give a shit.

Core has been up and down lately. I’d still blame the developer more though

Grim, grim sauce. Doesn't exactly scream 'welcome home'
