I was by there on Monday night, and level one looks close to completion so it's moving along well.

A reminder of what will be...
Anyone know what's going into the very top floor? Is that just mechanical or some sort of facilities?
View from Charles Street... the concrete ground level is finally almost complete.
The ground level is about halfway covered over for the second floor.

I guess it's safe to say that the 9 storey increase was not approved?

And perhaps DNA's great uncle.
Luckily it will be surrounded on all sides by towers so it won't really stick out much.

clearly this building isnt great, but its not terrible either. I mean just about anything on an L shaped lot has things working against it to start with. The upper level looks like it has higher ceilings than the base, likely selling for significantly more $. I just cant wait to see Yonge and Bloor in about 5 years... the density is going to be amazing!

Actually this building looks astonishingly like that thing@Avenue Rd and Bloor St wrapped around the beautiful Church of the Redeemer.

The additional height is quite hideous. It's like the architects were inspired by putting some lego blocks on top of the original building

I'm fairly certain they got their 36 storeys which make the above picture obsolete

An improvement to the cladding and glass, a better roof treatment, and a better podium would help greatly. Even some height would help the form a little (I don't absolutely hate the set-backs). This is definitely a building that could use the design review process.

Hey, does anyone know what that little area in front of the building is supposed to be? A driveway? Parking lot?
