Toronto 88 Queen | 167.35m | 52s | St Thomas Dev | Hariri Pontarini

The former was the result of oxidation though. The latter...questionable developer decisions. >.<
 
Unfortunately, this is VERY boring building that really fails to live up to expectations for such a large and prominent site. Pity!
Gonna disagree. I think this is much better than most new builds. Modernist condos look best when the exterior elements follow a "grid" of sorts like this rather than having random balconies popping out everywhere. The white/light green combo is also refreshing.

The curves on the podium are a nice touch. Could there be more colour/materials on the podiums? Yes. But I'll take this over anything at CityPlace, Church/Dundas or even Canary District any day.
 
The podium of this one teases us with what might've been and just barely, is its only saving grace. The tower on the other hand is thoroughly forgettable. There was a time when I might have suggested this one looked out of place and better suited amongst the towers of Mississauga or Vaugn. Sadly, today it is looking more at home right where it is.
