One comment regarding CityPlace in general:
It might just be me but ignoring the podium portion of *most* of the towers (HV1/2 N1/2 Montage) I'd argue that the quality of the buildings (from a visual perspective) beats almost any of the new glass condo's being built in this city ... the slight curve in HV1/2 is quite impressive in person and I'm really liking Montage a lot!

I would agree that the street presence of CityPlace is its weakest point. I am hopeful that will improve though as hopefully trees and greenery will eventually provide a buffer to all the concrete and glass. And we still have the big park to look forward to as well...

Typo I assume^^?
Nonetheless, for some reason Montage really soars and looks taller than its reported 47 storeys.

It does sore, doesn't it? It does sit on a slightly higher elevation than the rest. If that is the case, Signature will look dominate across the street if it ever gets built.
I also agree with the rest of the comments. The ground floor of all these towers is the weakest link. It is especially noticable on Spadina where the street slopes downward as it goes to the Gardiner.

I think floors are not the same as storeys, and there's probably about a dozen "bad luck" floor numbers missing like all other Cityplace buildings.

That sounds plausible. I could go into a rant about allowing superstition to override reality, but what's the point? Although I should point out that not EVERYBODY buying suites in these buildings thinks that the number '4' is unlucky. Surely they could have found buyers for suites on those floors?
I would just prefer that the floor numbers all match the actual floor.

Silly number 13. It gets no love anywhere.

It's amazing how many people let stupid old superstitions affect their lives. I adopted a cat a couple weeks ago and the humane society makes a point to encourage people to adopt black cats. People are still so superstitious that nobody wants them and they end up at the humane society for months on end. It boggles the mind.

^Really? I like black cats with big green eyes. I want one.

Except, maybe, around Halloween (i.e. fear of them being used for unseemly sacrifices, etc)

You're right. But I guess some people do take them to heart and if the number 4, for example, brings on bad luck and you know many of your customers will boycott those floors then why not cater to what your market wants? I'm not saying it makes sense to me (superstitions) but I don't think it is a big deal.
Your cat story is sad, though.
Ps, love the name. Mr. F. (in best british woman's accent)
