I do not agree whatsoever that we have all the parkland we need. Yes, we've got to improve what we've got—the parks budget definitely needs a boost—but there need to be parks within a couple minutes walk of every major building so that at lunch times, for example, office workers, retail workers, etc., can pour out of the buildings and find somewhere pleasant and accommodating to sit down and enjoy a half hour in the fresh air, or what have you. Downtown has a few such spaces but is otherwise starved for them, and every redevelopment of any size (larger than the floor plate of a single tower+ podium) should normally set land aside to deal with this.

There's an abundance of mini parkettes. We need a few larger parks to make up a deficiency in greenspace and many of those we do have reimagined.

Is it just me, or does floor 21 got a higher ceiling? The one with white round pillars, instead of the flat concrete walls.

Floor 20 is the second thick concrete parapet, seen above the 16th floor parapet of the first box.

If only every major project could climb like this one. Taken this afternoon from another fast-moving project (GM).

Yep, it is higher.

Really turning out nice so far... Can't waiting for the upper half to get glass

I love that little office space. Very reminiscent of the new Bay-Adelaide East, but also reminding everyone that it's possible to have a modern office that is friendly to the neighbourhood.

The offices shrink to St. Lawrence scale, as the residential component rises to match the financial district.

 

[Miscreant]

Yeah, I'm very happy with this so far. The re-cladding looks great, and I love the extra density in this location.

 

[Edward Skira]

From this morning. Forgot how tall it will be.

 

[LostAlbertan]

Love watching this building go up

 

[DarkSideDenizen]

The Altus building actually has a second level outdoor area that runs the south length of the building but I'm not if it still is open to the public.

I abhor that building. A few pages back members were dreaming of days past. If only it were still so..

 

[Canadian Chocho]

I get a wave of rage and sadness every time I see that picture. Sigh...

 

[Miscreant]

Wow, that's...heartbreaking. That building is astounding. What an absolute shame.
