- Where it's urban. And dense.
A rather sizable structure.

While I don't mind the design of the building as a whole or the interesting orientation of the balconies, I think what disappoints is the cheap looking glass/spandrel/finishes. It definitely looks like they cheaped out on the podium, using too many bland grey panels instead of real glass. I think the balconies weren't done all that well either. It just looks like a piece of glass was attached to the cement floor and doesn't look very polished. "Meh" sums it up pretty well, as someone else said.
Compared to The Yorkville project a few blocks west, the lower quality of the Milan becomes pretty noticeable.

Conservatory Group has always produced trash. Such an unfortunate developer.

It's subpar for the area, with contemporary towers like 18 Yorkville, the Florian and the Yorkville in the immediate vicinity.

I have to agree, it looks way too cheap for the area. Too bad because it is very prominent.

The Bait:
"Where innovation, passion, and sophistication converge, a world-ranking residence rises. A space of promise. A place of exhilaration. Milan is where the now and the next are invented. In the heart of downtown Toronto, Rosedale elegance and Yorkville energy meet with the enchantment of Milan, creating a dynamic synthesis of culture and style. Seductive, timeless design. The essence of European haute couture swirled with the soul-fire of Toronto, in an intriguing elixir of good taste. This is Milan. A glass sculpture that transcends the ordinary. Milan: defining good taste."

They get away from it because they can.
After turnover, the board should hire the best engineer they can find to do the performance audit. For every obvious visible deficiency there are likely more hidden from view.
