Doesn't look much different except for the street trees

I'm not talking about that specific pic but the perimeter, sidewalks, lighting, the park, etc...since you don't walk around much check the pics in the previous posts

I do walk around. It's inspired by what was there before with , of course, a few improvements in functionality made here and there. It's just new and shiny. Whatever. "Dump" was a tad too much.

Look up. Look waaaaay up.

No thanks.

Fourth floor podium lights were on for the first time tonight. Looks great! Really brightens up the block.

Solid addition to the downtown core. Materials are a bit shaky, and the crown could be refined, but the massing is right, and the ziggurat is appreciated. The precast pattern adds some visual interest and texture to what would have been another blue condo. 8/10 in my books.

Concert doesn't quite know how to make (pay for) a great building but they add more than they take. Their heritage work on Church Street forgives the ugly precast tower imo.

The ugly precast tower perhaps... but not quite that spandrel crown.

Purchaser PDI's commenced today. Walked in like I owned the joint. Lasted for a few moments until I was shown the other side of the door

Lobby looks elegant. Will wear well over time.

I actually just walked in and asked to just stand there and look around for a few minutes - they didn't have an issue with it.

Stopped by quickly after the Sidewalk Toronto event.

Yesterday just happened to be the official unveiling of Spectrum, the glittering public art component to 88 Scott which both hangs in the atrium and which quietly inhabits the soffit of the canopy to the west on Wellington. We have a front page story about the event up here (the first of two because there's a lot to talk about), but I want to draw everyone's attention to something now that's been mossed so far:

If you're walking along Wellington past the development, get closer. The canopy's soffit is part of Spectrum, its darker shapes treated with a dichroic film which spilts light into wavelengths, bouncing away at different angles, so that as you walk under it, the colours constantly shift. It. Is. Pretty. Freakin'. Cool. Check out the various polygons as they change colours as I walk…

You don't really see that unless you get close.

Anyway, here are a couple of evening pics to round out the fun…

More soon!

The building really fizzles at the top.

Too bad that the nice trees that were formerly on Scott Street were not replaced. Apparently this time the problem was an Enbridge pipe. The City really needs to take its pledges about increasing tree canopy seriously. First we lost 10 to 15 trees on King at the Globe and Mail building, now more here.
