Toronto Aura at College Park | 271.87m | 78s | Canderel | Graziani + Corazza

[Torontovibe]

This tower has a better retail podium than almost all other new condo podiums, which seem to just be a flat wall of glass. Say what you want about this building but its podium does have a nice contrast of colours and textures. It brings a big city vibe to Gerrard and Yonge. I also like the larger sidewalk (and trees) along its base. Of course, none of this excuses the retail portion in the basement or the terrible connection to Collage Park but I guess you have to take the good with the bad.

So I guess next we'll see the temporary roof come down off of the top of the retail floors.

Oh well. i guess when you dont like something., you find everything wrong with it.
by the way, nice pics

I thought at least the cladding of the top portion was considered just fine in this forum, but I guess that's what you got from the yaAwn worshippers.

^is it only me or everyone cant see the pic?

 

[Marcanadian]

I can't see it either, usually happens because the poster has edited the image since it was posted.

Second crane is on the roof of Aura now.
