You're staring at the future here, the epitome of modern elegance. You will learn to like such things! Brick and texture were so 19th century.

Every time I start thinking maybe this building is serviceable I see photos like these. What an absolutely squandered project. There was a time when this was one of the buildings I was most excited for and thought it would be a standout in the city.

I like the ideas here, think it just needs a little refining. I like the height for this location as well. Hopefully it stays at 60s. Glad to see some heritage preservation here, even if it's only facadism that's better than nothing. Are the interiors here anything noteworthy? Definitely has...

Maybe I'm changing, becoming more nuanced and understanding of good city building, who knows... but the city needs to shoot this down. It's just bad on so many levels, the tower looks awful, loss of heritage and so on. I will be sorely disappointed if this gets the nod of approval (as is at the...

I'm getting serious Thaivic, time for you to move up a couple floors! /s just in case

I'm sorry but I'm going to have to agree with a lot of the other voices here, this simply isn't an appropriate proposal. The very fact that you describe heritage designations as nonsense shows that you are also not making a good faith argument being in favour of this tower. It is not inherently...

Agree completely, I have the same problem with neighbouring buildings as well, but I'm willing to give a project like 1 yorkville at least a little bit of credit for trying something a little more interesting and unique. It didn't pan out and there were still plenty of cheap materials used, but...

GG really dropped the ball here imo. I understand it's not terrible and if this was in the entertainment district for example it would be fine. This is Yorkville though, it is supposed to be arguably the most high end part of the city. I'm not saying Toronto needs its own billionaires row, but...

I was about to say something similar. There are so many things wrong with this project even the massing, the one big solid podium are awful, but it is starting to feel dense. It is reminding me of my days in Hong Kong, and residential areas like Mong Kok. Is Mong Kok something you'd want to...

This building screams infill and honestly as far as dense big city infill goes, I like it. The problem is it's right on the corner, as opposed to just sandwhiched down the road somewhere.

I agree with you, and the more attacks that happen the more clear that becomes. A explosions at ammo dumps deep behind frontlines could be partisan attacks, consistent deep strikes in Crimea are quite clearly missiles. I was just pointing out there is no official word on the attacks though its...

I can't believe this thing is actually finally growing. The excitement of seeing a supertall go up before our eyes is finally setting in for me.

It's not clear it actually is medium range weapons however. Lots of the video that has been studied doesn't appear to show any missiles. Of course I'm not saying Ukraine hasn't got ATACMS because they very well could, but it's also distinctly possible these are covert operations or involve...

More strikes in Crimea today at at least 3 different locations. Power station, miltary base, and railway.

After seeing that last photo I honestly think this is the worst project in the city.

Faint praise if I've ever heard it

Think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Can someone actually explain to me the rationale behind this? Like why does everything have to contribute to the streetwall, I cannot understand the underlying reasons for that requirement in the first place.

Havent said anything on this since so far its been mostly sabre rattling but it appears to be confirmed that Pelosi will be visiting Taiwan either tomorrow or Wednesday of this week...

Also, maybe specicify that this isn't the tallest building of all time at 2932fl.
