This is very true and could be the difference maker for sure. Just has those Social vibes so far... only built better.

I think what people (including myself) are reacting to is that seeing this colouring and panels, we're getting PTSD from Pemberton's Social. Social looked pretty close to this at the start too (minus the great podium).

☝️This. I'm usually pretty hyped to see a Hariri Pontarini project coming to life and didn't see this one turning out this way at all.

I dunno. If those cheap looking window panels had some custom art deco metalwork and the building materials were comparable, sure it'd be great. This doesn't look like that imo. We'll see. I would love for this to turn out for the better though. Forgive me if I'm using the wrong terminology, I'm...

Though I never publicly stated it, I was also pretty underwhelmed when I first saw this proposal. But, it's easily one of the best recent builds. Very happy to be wrong about this one! It's better to be surprised than disappointed. Hopefully this new feeling of disappointment with 88 Queen is...

I've noticed that when someone jokes about/talks about/ sarcastically mentions the city in regard to having any control over anything in any way, someone always needs to chime in as if the original poster was serious. Maybe we should introduce a mandatory laughing emoji or something to show...

Stupid me thought this building would have similar glass as 19 Duncan (not rounded of course). Very disappointing.

Yeah... I actually thought that image was slipped in by mistake... is this actually this same building? 👀

I don't get it. Does good design cost more? I'm assuming they could come up with better than this with the same materials.

Exactly. Here are the laws if anyone's interested. https://ambientlight.ca/laws/overview/what-can-i-photograph/ Anyone can take photos legally "On public property, like side walks. This includes taking photos of anything that a normal person could see from public property."

True. What I also love about this (regardless of whether the facade stays or not) is that there isn't an enormous ugly block of a podium that Toronto just seems to have to do all too often.

It's called sarcasm, buddy. No, I do not actually think they're taking bribes. I do still wonder what the point of this panel is though. Judging by your response you're on it lol (also sarcasm).

Whatever it is, they're doing a much better job than Toronto. What's the point of the design review panel in Toronto anyway? They must take lots of bribes imo.

Great explanation. Thanks!

This is me asking possibly a dumb question, but does anyone know why they're pouring the floors minus the corners, only to do the corners down the road in the future? Why not just pour the whole floor at once? 🤔

I don't get the hate on this one. It looks exactly like it should based on the drawings and that can't be a bad thing... 🤔

You work for Pemberton, don't you.... ;p Easily the ugliest building going up. Unless you're directly under it, then I guess it's fine.

It's a weird design imo, but the execution so far 😗👌

Well, damn. That's incredibly stupid.

Pretty sure this is just an issue with skyscraperpage's website. They're usually not smudges and have detail.
