Ritz will outshine them both.
I love the Bank of America building aka Simcoe Place.
Ya i like it too alot of people say its bulky but i think its a pretty good design.
How is it bulky! It's so thin ... sure it's wide but even that side manages to look amazing ... The fact the building looks like the center is inset / cut out.
But yes *hopefully* ... knocking on wood ... ritz will be better.
Construction continues on schedule. Curtain wall installation in the tower will be completed. The glass enclosure for the Lantern at the top of the building will be started. Elevator installation continues in the high rise, mid rise and service elevator banks. Mechanical and electrical trades continue with their rough ins throughout the tower floors including lighting, fire alarm and sprinkler systems. Installation of access flooring in the typical office floor areas proceed up the building on levels 13, 14 and 15. Installation of access flooring in the podium will be completed to level 8. Finishes in the podium floor washrooms will be completed. Ground floor glazing will be complete as will the curtain wall for the feature stair. The ground floor lobby stone flooring will commence. The Ritz-Carlton will pour the 19th, 20th, and 21st floor slab and begin forming and pouring the 22nd loor slab.
Here are a number of pics I took, including some close-ups of the lantern. I can't wait to see that lantern lit up at night. I hope they use really top quality lighting. I was not expecting this on top but it's a nice, little surprise. We need more light and colour in our skyline but slowly, it's getting there.
