It’s better then the last render of this project by far. Looks more lToronto” anyways. Just “ok”.

 

[condovo]

Don't get me wrong - they're still one of the better firms out there, but they used to produce nothing but hits. Now they've got comparative duds like Halo, Alter, 8 Cumberland, 33 Yorkville and this one popping up on a more regular basis.

Okay. Alter sucks.

 

[maestro]

Alter is a blemish. Some of these others are leaning that way. One could say aA is in decline however, that applies to the whole pack. Core isn't what it used to be and as mediocre as G+C was in the past, what they have copied and pasted a dozen times over around town lately is beyond horrid. Leave the "deconstructionism" to Teeple. It's not great but it's competent.

All the majors have copied and pasted around town. It's nothing to hold against aA without acknowledging everyone does it.

To be marketed as 55C Condos

City Place is looking better and better, so much better spacing of towers. Charles Street is nuts, dito for Gerrard/Yonge/Bay and the Entertainment Area.... City Place at least had an area plan.

 

[ProjectEnd]

CityPlace is the kind of ridiculous, planned, large-format, insta-urbanism that's the antithesis of the way that cities have and should be growing.

 

[ptbotmpfn]

I Don’t suggest many of these building looks around the city but this one for some reason is growing on me a lot. It’s a little different has many interesting qualities about it. Busy. by not crazy in your face to much busy. But more eye catching. In my opinion alone I’m sure. And, it sets it apart from its neighbouring towers. That’s good right?

 

[Yegger]

Charles street is feeling like a vertical bedroom community. It feels a lot like a modern Merton Street (in davisville)

 

[yyzer]

Coming to market soon as "55C"...

YC condos?

 

[dicky]

Mod might start the sales in May

 

[Yegger]

the above rendering looks different than the previous one showing alternating boxes. Now it just looks like balconies poking out a la YC condos. yawn

Looks like the design took a turn for the worse. It wasn't great to start with, but this looks about as boring as it gets.
