Hmm, I just snapped this quickly as the gf and I turned onto College St. But yeah, the red (streetcars) balance out the green (trees) and the towers work well. Thanks for da props.

I recall in the original renderings of Cityplace (when Concord Adex first released it), the plan showed 5 towers along Front Street, 4 east of Spadina (now the Matrix + Apex complex), and one west of Spadina ... I'll see if I can still find that picture

There was supposed to be a tower directly at the southwest corner of Front and Spadina but I cannot recall reading anything about it for the last few years.

I was looking at this today in person, and, my god is that ever a huge mechanical top.

I find myself a bit annoyed at the landscaped island in the middle of Bremner Blvd. No jaywalking there... hard to imagine a very lively atmosphere developing, but here's hoping.

Great photos CSW ... you should sell this one to Concord Adex ... perfect for an AD (it even has their name on it) ... this angle makes the massing of Montage/Neo complex look like a taller version of the Bohemian Embassy

I agree there's a resemblance with the silhouette, but I don't see the buildings being that similar. With Bohemian being a more modern interprectation of an Art Deco style and Neo being more Modernist (with a touch of Bauhaus).

The massing of the Bohemian Embassy looks more [institutional] gothic to me with the tower in the middle.

yes I agree with ya all... I meant to compare the similarity in the massing (silhouette) only, not architectural design elements ... and only from that one photo angle of Neo/Montage
