^I'm with you both. I wonder if the siding acts as shielding from their neighbours. Between that huge propane tank and the gas station let's hope no one gets lazy with their lit cigarette butts.

Looks like a lot of red faces there... This could have done some serious damage and clearly could have been deadly if it had smashed through the new glass building on the corner just a few metres south. Very lucky it would seem.

Wow. What kind of damage was done to the exterior? I'm not at home to see for myself today...

That is really good to see. I keep thinking of the horrifying photo DT_geek took of the spindly twig sticking out of the concrete on Wellesley St a couple of years ago. It really summed up how the city failed at greenery. Would love to see it again to remind everyone of the city's embarrassing...

^Bad advice. This is Yonge and Bloor. There never was a more appropriate time to use the expression "Location, location, location." Unless something catastrophic happened you'd be sure to turn a very, very, very, very healthy profit by the time the building is complete (no matter how...

The building is such a sexy shape that it's a shame to detract from it with the contrast between the windows and the cladding. It would have looked so much more high-end if the the entire tower were virtually all the same colour so you couldn't really tell where the windows are.

I hope to God they won't be lighting them up like I'm sure they'll be doing with the "exposed" crystals on the west side.

I don't think anyone called the folks at Bazis blind or stupid. Questionable taste, maybe. But not stupid. I'm curious... what function could the off-coloured panels have?

I've been thinking the same thing lately. Bazis clearly knows about marketing but so far the follow-through ain't been too great.
