I see your point Traynor^^^
Lake Ontario is probably the worst of the great lakes in terms of geographical beauty and for sanitary reasons... For Toronto, Lake Ontario is all we've got so folks around this town don't really mind the view of "the lake"... For example, Chicago's lake Michigan is freakin sweet! It's clean too and has some nice beaches !.... Toronto is a North/South city as it moves away from the lake... Many cities run along the lake so there are fewer waterfront views in Toronto... And to the north, i would say 70% of the views of the city are gone for both MLS and ICE... But from the non-skyscraper-geek standpoint, i don't think the view is what people buy their units for. Of course they do care what they are seeing but many purchase units due to their location, pricing, etc... But this is apart of city life, most people downtown don't get the best view in the city, and sometimes they end up looking at a another building for the rest of their life... Many downtown condos these days have crappy views like that... For example, TRUMP: the renderings NEVER depicted Bay Adelaide Centre to the north... 90% of the north facing units in Trump Tower will be blocked out by BA. If i were in that persons scenario... It would SUCK!
I agree that the positioning of the towers wasn't the best... (unless you have a penthouse suite )
