Only you @kotsy ; a simple cell shot, and you still managed to make it look like the CN Tower is on fire. You can't resist sneaking in extra drama into every pic!

Before 2010, this would’ve been the 4th tallest building in Toronto (5th if you count the CN Tower). Now it’s not even visible in the skyline from certain angles (like Riverdale Park).

It may be all glass but at least it is high quality glass and different from any other curtain wall system in the city. I wish it would’ve been 50-100m taller. We need our tallest buildings to have more interesting rooftop designs like this. Almost all new buildings have flat rooftops, this really adds variety to our skyline View attachment 462806

It presents as a well-dressed and bloated, coneheaded building - in my jaded opinion. There's something just not right here, proportionally. Still, a little taller and it would have stood out in the skyline showcasing the quality of materials and construction.
