For the benefit of new members (and clarity), "Signature" was indeed the project name of the 69 storey tower announced by Concord in 2006 for this site... which is marked "TBD" on that site-plan.

Wild guess: Concord may have believed at the time that "Signature" would be the their signature tower for CityPlace. I'll sign off now. 🖋️

Oh wow! I remember posting that photo from the pamphlet I got from Concord. I literally took a photo with a webcam to be able to post it! haha.
 
The Maple Leaf motif looks almost legible from across the lake, but it would probably look best from an airplane. It's too bad though that we live here on the ground and not in space 🙁 womp womp to this 'icon'.
 
I like how the leaf pattern is abstracted and not so clearly literal, as it could look tired and tacky over time, however, the leaf motif will be lost or be more obscure when the building is occupied with the white window coverings.

Thankfully, the leaf motif is built into the balcony, not the windows, so we're in no danger of residents obscuring it in their attempts to combat Condo Sunset Overheat Syndrome™️
