There won't be the same interest in a shorter building - you can get that anywhere - with better location too.

If they go back to the early proposed phallic-shaped designs, it might attract buyers on the basis of novelty.

Is that the type of building that planners would like to see erected? I'm not so sure, there could be some stiff resistance

I hate to sound like an echo, but a Calatrava Turning Torso-esque tower for the Signature of the Concord development would really be a crowning jewel to the whole development.

I have friends who have moved into Cityplace over the past year and it is definitely much more than what I expected. When I started coming to Toronto I subscribed to the ideology that all the towers looked the same and that the development was boring. But after further inspection the development is really something special.

I do feel however that the towers are somewhat simmilar, altho the subtle details do help to differentiate them. A completely original design, like Turning Torso, that still reflects the rest of the development would really make Cityplace something special.

It would also give me something spectacular to watch UC from my friend's balcony

Or stiff positive responses to the erection of such a tower.

Ah, the weekly phallic pun threadjack. Never gets old.

 

[adma]

Indeed.

Cityplace:Signature Tower

[cruzin4u]

Would be nice to see it in black with some pink highlights (not being sarcastic either).

 

[Sir Novelty Fashion]

So, kind of like Ice-With-An-Umlaut, crossed with one of those convenience store "energy drinks"?

 

[Ryuinfinity]

Um... Have either of you realized that's an obvious fake?

seriously ? LOL i read them as sarcasm

 

[egotrippin]

I certainly hope it doesn't look like that (it won't), however a reflective jet black tower could look really good there. It would contrast highly with all the lighter blues/greens/silvers in that area.

I agree - the pink could really set this monotonously drab complex off. As it stands, in terms of colour, CityPlace is pretty bland.

They should make a tower that actually looks like a signature.
