That is a hell of a shell. Really bold stuff here, I am loving it.

30 August 2014: Now I'm gonna cry ... wish they'd gone for Peter Street Condos-style glazing or Fashion House-style curtain wall. Considering the $/sqft these sold at....

What's down that lane?

It's looking good so far.

 

[someMidTowner]

Certainly a bit less sleek than I was expecting, but the shape of the building still stands out beautifully

I saved the best for last

I can easily imagine a 40 storey tower rising above this "podium"

Very nice. I decided to skip Dundas today so thanks for the update!

Now we must wonder about the retail here. Perhaps a stylish modern Portuguese bakery would be cool?

 

[M.R.Victor]

I'd love to see a developer buy up the 3 properties directly to the east and put up something of a contrasting color, perhaps red, but of similar massing. And for that horrid KFC to disappear into a void. Ah, I can only dream.

Project of the Year?! Really think the cladding pulls it together and makes a nice contrast to all that white stuff falling on my lens....

The black cliffs of Dundas West?

 

[agoraflaneur]

What is the cladding?

 

[greenleaf]

The cladding looks similar to whatever was used at 60 Richmond.

 

[Tewder]

It really overwhelms its surroundings.
