To see this building come out of such a dull rendering is a pleasant surprise. They really nailed it on the details and materials.
Yup. Absolutely despise the way this part of the city is developing and wish we could wipe it all away with a clean slate.And that, ladies and gents, is our waterfront.
Ah come on? i have a feeling that in the next 10 years everything will blend in nicely, when all residential, office, institutional, retail is built with schools, community centresYup.

From a street level perspective sure but I will never forgive this area for what it's done to our skyline. Anything that blocks out my favourite buildings and the city's best architecture in the skyline is a huge no for me. At street level this area will improve dramatically but the same could have been said if they built shorter, better designed buildings along here.Ah come on? i have a feeling that in the next 10 years everything will blend in nicely, when all residential, office, institutional, retail is built with schools, community centres
throw in the transportation hubs, LRT, streetscape, parks, waterfront promenades and some big trees, etc. and you are going to have a sweet area from Yonge to Cherry
I'd say its great place to invest and not give up on
I don’t know, looks better to me from this angle. Feeling thick and juicy.From a street level perspective sure but I will never forgive this area for what it's done to our skyline.

I understand preserving skyline aesthetics and vistas are the last things planners worry about, especially in a city growing as rapidly as ours but I don't care. I will never forgive this area for destroying our once picture perfect skyline from just a few years ago, regardless of how much demand there is.
