That's bizarre. Speaks volumes though.

Nothing matches the pure lameness of photoshopping the top of 1 King West.

Looks like less a photoshop job, and more one of those optimistic renders that Harry was using pre-construction. Back in the Speed Stick days...

 

[elook]

I just noticed that yesterday too, Ed. It's the invisible hotel...

 

[Ed007Toronto]

Funny thing is I've mentioned it in the past.

 

[Edward Skira]

Not sure if this still is the case but a bit earlier the top few floors of 1 King facing north were brightly lit in many colours. Looked very cool.

Talk about a waste of space the penthouse units are still for sale! one of them was used in some much music reality tv show a few years back

http://www.mls.ca/propertyDetails.aspx?propertyId=9864678&PidKey=-1524746431 $2,995,000

And the other penthouse unit is just an unfinished raw space

http://www.mls.ca/propertyDetails.aspx?propertyId=9864685&PidKey=-272502025 $4,300,000

saw the UT article today... this is an amazing building.. only $3 million??? that's a steal imo. even though square footage wise it doesn't stack up against the Ritz, shangri-la, etc... one amazing floorplan. and the wrap around views are next-level insane.

This is a good example of why UT should never close threads on a project, you never know what the future holds.

WTF? This can't be cheap. The owners in the condo association must be pissed!!!

 

[modernizt]

I think this just refers to the re-cladding of the podium rooftop addition and the parapet on the historical building. I could be wrong though; the pre-cast on the tower has always looked pretty bottom-rung to me.

Good call, that's gotta be it.

I did notice that the scaffolding is already up. I was about to post to find out why, actually.

It would be nice to see some curtainwall on this building.
