I still say turn that unsold penthouse floor into a cocktail lounge/observatory a la the Manulife Centre.

I wish they would turn the penthouse into a cocktail lounge/observation level!

Years ago when it was built, I went to look at the model suites and remember one marble bathroom that had walls of windows around the sunken tub that looked out into the woods...it was glorious!

I think the cladding and the balconies look as busy and as unappealing as Aura's...why is everyone raving about this one?

from the Sheraton Centre this weekend, Aura peeking over City Hall.

I agree...it has very odd proportions. It reminds me of that awful condo near high park with the base that looks like a mausoleum. However, the upper floors will have a pretty terrific view

Could you kindly rephrase that in legible english?

Make that, tearing half of it down...when I passed by at 7pm, the rear half and sides were still standing.

Interesting comment regarding the white blind effect. What would be your preferable alternative? Use whatever colour you want? How about tin foil? Go look at the Crossways to see how attractive that is!

I Passed by at 11 this morning and they were tearing it down.

Brilliant deduction, Mr. Black.

Urban Shocker was one of my favourite things about Urban Toronto. I miss the Doyenne!!! if you read this...xoxoxo

The Book Cellar was one of the best bookstores that we had in this city. It looked onto the restaurant patio in the courtyard. The charm of Vidal Sassoon, which also overlooks the courtyard, was it's location in a multi-level narrow townhouse. It will be a shame to see this corner go.

Sure it does, or else you wouldn't bother replying. I agree that the word 'iconic' is incredibly overused on this board.

Isn't it all Limestone...not precast concrete?

Those (slim) lower balconies on the west side are going to have a crappy view. How tall is that Women's College expansion going to be?

"...from the mid $200s.", which means for a 350sf suite LOL

It looks to me like they got the idea for those set-in windows from Shangri-La.

This building has some great floorplans: https://themasters.nexusonline.ca/nexus/floorplans.php
