I'mgetting a 70s vibe here. I like it. KPMB is pretty underrated.

Agreed, KPMB is simply one of the best firms for elegant, fuss-free modern designs.

Only critique I have of this is that the top slab doesn't extend to the same extent as the balconies - which means the top floor balconies won't have any shield from the rain, and that I also think it would've looked best if the visual top of the building was using the same excellent balcony guard material with the wave effect. Still gets a 9.5/10 for me though!

they did such a great job with this part of town. The scale and the public spaces are unmatched across the city. Seems like a lot of lessons learned from City Place and liberty village were remedied here

I will still argue that the ROW is just way to wide, but I otherwise agree!

There's a banner outside the building that shows new retail in Winter 2020

Vivo Pizza and Pasta, a burrito place (forget the name) and lastly and most interestingly https://www.rockonclimbing.ca/

This morning...

This golden tone appears similar to the 'champagne' tone of The One? Although perhaps a titch darker?

Meanwhile out back...

The banners for the rock climbing place and restaurant...

^the cladding of the one looks more like brushed aluminum.

 

[Dr. Snoot]

The building is already doing a lot for the area.

One more from today.

Still a few more giant parking lots around there that need to be destroyed.

Miss the colour and warmth from my last visit here. A grey November update today. The good news is the only white in these photos will be Canary Block once the other whiteness melts by next week.

Counterclockwise pics...

Presumably these are temporary covers for inside work, in lieu of dichroic glass for now.

Miss the colour and warmth from the brass window-wall now hidden behind the white, opaque balcony railings. The bad news is the white railings aren't going anywhere and the brass window-wall will be mostly hidden from view permanently.

That said, this still looks good. It's just a missed opportunity. Nice pix.

 

[TheKingEast]

This one is looking like a winner.
