    Toronto Ïce Condominiums at York Centre | 234.07m | 67s | Lanterra | a—A

    I think its neither here nor there. Highrises at the water's edge (mostly) don't do a disservice to Lower Manhattan's waterfront. Similarly, Grant Park is not the only reason that Chicago's waterfront is admired. I would look to more definite culprits like the railway tracks when trying to...

    Toronto First Canadian Place Rejuvenation | 298.08m | 72s | Brookfield | MdeAS Architects

    Given that that corner of scaffolding has been lowered, is the dark corner section installed/visible?

    Bay Adelaide Centre West Tower (Brookfield, 50s, WZMH)

    The skyscraperpage diagrams of NY and Chicago show only one logo on their combined first pages. Though I agree it is a common phenomenon around the world, especially in Asia, there is significance to the fact that FCP held the record for the highest sign in the world until 1997.

    Toronto 1Thousand Bay | 104.85m | 32s | Cresford | a—A

    ^ Agreed. Its a Garden Inn. Frankly I think we should be thankful its not more cookie cutter than this.

    Toronto St Regis Toronto Hotel and Residences | 281.93m | 58s | JFC Capital | Zeidler

    In general I completely agree. Festival tower is a great example of a project that was judged too early by many on the forum. Unlike that project however, the renders of Trump Tower never held too much promise, at least since the redesign which removed both the height and north-face set back...

    Toronto St Regis Toronto Hotel and Residences | 281.93m | 58s | JFC Capital | Zeidler

    First time poster, long time lurker, but i had to get in on this debate: I have to side with UD on this one. Just because a building isn't as fugly as say 10 Dundas does not make it a respectable piece of architecture. Trump Toronto may be aesthetically passable, but it is more concerned with...
