No but so many buildings do and there is no need for them. I generally speaking don't like them so glad no spire on this one.

Indeed, condos built in the mid 1990s had central spires. Then in the late 1990s, the spires moved to one corner (go to the 401 and Yonge going east to see this. These buildings uniformly have a terrible application/use of spires

...I think the perception of spires during that time was due to the fact that many developments where pushing those, but there wasn't nearly the amount of towers being built then as there has been in the last 10 years without. Pretty much drowning those out...and thankfully so.

I know some old people who do all their everyday banking at an actual bank because they don't trust online services or even phone services. I think the last time I was in a bank was over almost five years ago: to pick up a bank draft to put down a deposit on a condo. But yes, banks, and phone stores - not to forget the ubiquitous nail salons - kill retail areas.

People tend to have a need for a physical branch as they mature and grow up

Yowzers, it even makes the CIBC towers look puny (although they’re slightly farther away).

Flipped, rotated, truncated, ice-ated.

Yesterday. New road taking shape, although I doubt it will be connected to the Yonge/Harbour intersection any time soon.

Skydome maybe? it's a bit further away but there's not a lot of tall development between these two locations and the blue streak is a bit higher up.

Still sad that our tallest building has such forgettable design. 1BW and Forma really took chances and will be iconic. This is just so bland but enormous
