Nice shot. The design may be unimaginative but the glass is outstanding.

Simple, yet gorgeous...thanks for the pic.

The glass looks fantastic coming in on the GO train from the east in the morning. I will have to try and get a photo some morning.

^ Yeah I get that view too. I like it especially when Spire falls directly in line with it, and looks really tiny.

I was taking some shots of the building on Friday and caught the shaft of the tower crane being lower. It took over 15 minutes to lower it from the time I saw it and it was only about haft way down.

I made a video of both video's and photo's showning the shaft at various levels. The video is not great that I shot and this is a new camera of all things and back it goes.

ROCP should look like that

Love the glass. This may be conservative, but it is a great addition to the downtown cluster.

It is extremely conservative. This is a tower which could have pulled off an imaginative roof structure, similar to the Key Tower in Cleveland.

Solid building. Glass looks great. But the fins should be double or triple the height. They're pretty underwhelming and seem like an afterthought

 

[khris]

They were supposed to be taller originally I believe.

Can you think of an even worst example than the Key Tower?

But the fins should be double or triple the height.

Not 100% certain but, I'm pretty sure the pesky shadowing bylaw came into play
