Love Absolute.. But I still really like One Park for it's Gotham City look to it.

I don't disagree, I quite like One Park's too. (but of course Absolute is the 'best tower' that I was referring to in case anyone was wondering). Out of the rest I also have a preference for Citygate and Ultra Ovation.

I know this is not the thread for it but One Park is far from Mississauga's worst building;

^ spoke with some Daniels employees working on Limelight and they said that the land in front of One Park Tower will be two towers similar to One Park but will be taller most likely in the 40-50 storey range but it hasn't been finalized.

From today:

I don't quite get the intention of the patterned glass on Tower 5. I thought that the pattern on the model followed the curves quite nicely... these seem to be going in the opposite direction?

Agreed, have they not figured out that they are installing the glass the wrong way yet?

Wow, does someone really have foil up on their windows on tower 4?

As for tower 5's balcony glass. It looks just like the render if you ask me:

The models of the building show the glass following the rotation, not opposed to it.

Not sure where the mix up is, but the glass in my opinion, looks better following the rotation.

It does look like its render, but just not as the model, as the model appears to be going with the twist not against it. But either way I like it (but prefer with twist my self)

good point! Never paid much attention to that rendering - strange that they were created differently. I too personally like it better following rotation, but I'll hold my final judgement until it's complete

Only a small section of the sidewalk at the corner of Hurontario & Burnhamthorpe need to be finish and that cannot happen until the hording is removed. There is a section up at Absolute Dr that need to be finish also, and again the hording has to be remove.

Had a close look at the retail area inside and about every 40' the floor drops a foot starting from Absolute Dr with the ceiling height gaining a foot. There is a elevator about mid area for deliveries to these retail stores once they are in place.

Got a few new shots since the hording is gone and you can walk in those areas now.

There about 50 other shots up on site now.

Hahaha... don't you think this is just a little far away?!?

 

[Jasonzed]

Negative but here's another one:

This one is a bit far...in person it's viewable...

Great, loving the Non-Green glass, just wish they could correct the rotation now!
