Oil-canning and denting. Not encouraging at all.

When you focus on the problem spot; it's easier to see.

Yes, it looks terribly cheap.

It looks just as awful, if not even worse than in the design renders

A missed opportunity for a beautiful brick facade podium to complement the buildings surrounding: King Blue with the restoration of Westing house and matching dark brick podium; Bisha for the restoration of the wearehouse podium, 55 Mercer will also have a two coloured brick podium

And then this ugly piece of boring glass and clad in one of the most visible corners of the Entertainment district...

The glass looks okay...but I agree, the oil canning is..err, crimping its style.

The building is a collection of all the Toronto colours: grey, shadow black, light midnight, and silver aluminum.

A "greatest hits" nicely summarizing Toronto's architectural imagination all in one building!

Great Gulf used to be okay (X, X2, 1BE) but their most recent offerings have been less than stellar (Yonge+Rich, HOME and now this).
