You can "revitalize" a skyline?

AoD

I guess you could sort of do that with a new landmark tower that changes the profile of the skyline, the way Montreal defined its current skyline with 1000 De La Gauchetière or Los Angeles with the US Bank Tower.

Toronto hasn't moved beyond First Canadian Place as its CBD skyline definer- yet.

1075 Bay won't be the building to do that, it's mostly marketing fluff- I think they were probably going for the 'Define the skyline' spiel with their own twist.

Toronto hasn't moved beyond First Canadian Place as its skyline peak- yet.

It is not how it can be done - it is what the phrase actually meant (or what the negative implies - stale skyline"?) It's meaningless - as if skyline is like Regent Park or something.

It's just a massing model. I wouldn't worry just yet

A downgrade from the original

^Or should we say closer to reality.

 

[ProjectEnd]

A downgrade from the original

How so?

 

[UrbanAffair]

In what way is this worse, or better? Looks quite similar to me, and it's still just a rendering. (Also, this is Canderal, what are we really expecting?)

 

[cd concept]

Why did they knock down the height! The hieght and slender looks of this building would triumph towering over Queens Park . If anything make it higher!

This one is such a dog's breakfast.
