^No, the tower's fine, but those townhouses modeled after the house in PSYCHO are inappropriate in any context.

The Windermere/Queensway tower is quite cool - I am looking forward to the balcony railings, etc., being added to finish the overall sleek look.
I am entriely perplexed however, as to what it is that stops that city 19 times out of 20 from building townhouses that are appropriately modern for their time, and appropriate to their local context. I don't know who Cresford had design the condo, but I think they did such a good job on it that the townhouses' Vic-Schtick architecture is all the more glaringly absurd in comparison.
...so I'd like to thank Cresford, award them with a prize for the tower, and then bitch-slap them for the townhouses.

You're right. It is an awkward tower as well. It has some interesting curves, but is also quite bulky.

Nice looking building. I wonder if they'll actually put that clock in there.

Looks like it belongs in Brampton.

Brampton is built for structures like this one, not Toronto. I am looking forward to the outright cancellation of this building before it gets to far along in the approval process. The neighbourhood of Swansea and anyone who can see deserves better.

I shudder at the thought of (more) of this junk coming to Toronto.

The French name deceived me into assuming that they were a decent, if slightly boring firm. Then I checked their online portfolio.
...Terrible.

Also, for those who don't know, this will be approx. one block north of NXT and NXT2.
