Such a large site, especially when viewed from an aerial perspective. When this is finished it's going to make an already impressively dense residential node that much more dramatic. I remember the days when the first Palace Pier was a singularly tall oddity perched above a slew of ratty old motels.

Nice capture! Really shows the stature of QA relative to the immediate area. Shows off that cool massing, too.

Wouldn't it be lovely off it unfolded exactly like that.

Actually, though I agree with you in spirit about lack of colour in our towers, I do see a lot of colour here - it's just that certain clinical green as seen in those old-fashioned soap dispensers you'd find in public washrooms. There.... feel better?

I love walking alleys. Always something to see... "the city's ripped backsides," to quote Iggy.

From this morning.

I believe 3D is sportively jesting.

Excellent series. Great stuff!

Good to see peeps with real connections here! (;->))

One thing working against that sort of clean& cleaver integration of multiple-use in the Portlands is the cement facilities. They're not going away anytime soon - hence the cement truck traffic (which in turn feeds the constant construction of condos we see all over the GTA) - will continue to...

I must agree with Northern Light; tourists and avid film/star buffs will very likely not be welcome on any active shooting site (which doesn't involve extras, of course) - they bring security and insurance concerns and the shooting schedules are rather tight and very expensive as it is. It might...

Craven Street's terminus view forever changed. Not that I mind; I like the scale of this project and the increased vitality I expect the area will see - and, in time, embrace.

Man, that is utterly offensive. A weird fortress mentality.

I think if it did the offset thing once every four or five floors it would actually work. This way, it's needlessly busy. But I do like the cladding nonetheless.

I mildly disagree. Oben Flats' brickwork is elegantly austere - that's one of my favorite modern buildings in Leslieville. But yeah, this one remains a sweet, clean project that fits into the streetscape very nicely.

Aaaaand edible correctness rears its ugly head.

It'll be weird until it's not. I recently found this grainy old photograph taken of the railway lands by my late brother, sometime in the late 70s or very early 80s. At one point this too was a pretty unremarkable slice of Toronto. All living cities are, to a degree, in a natural state of flux...

My shots from earlier today.

Fits right in.

Yeah, I dig that too. I like such little reminders that the city has a past.
