I agree with the "for now" and the ownership doesn't mean they control what Toronto Hydro does or doesn't do.

exactly. government ownership does not imply control, necessarily. the cbc, for example, has historically, been anti-conservative. and yet, we do not see mr. harper silencing mr. strombo when he speaks against the fed's art policy. thank god.

Great pic. When I see that site in context and see what is going up there I could cry, and not tears of joy. Oh well.

Originally, I was against this project but it is growing on me (or I just might have conceaded defeat that Toronto is incapable of something better). I wish that the developers called this project as it is from the start... designed to blend into its surroundings and not to be a showcase like they claim. Maturing trees along the boardwalk and Sugar Beach will humanize this precinct along with the new QQ East line.

It's not a bad building. It's just not the building i'd hoped for here.

I'm not minding this at all. True, it would be more at home on The East Mall, but since "it's not awful" seems to be a common standard, then I guess it's ok.

Hmmm, I'm thinking more The West Mall

Agreed. I still don't care for how this is shaping up in the context of the waterfront.

The more I see this building, the more I am compelled to the idea that something like Behnisch Architekten's Norddeutsche Bank Building in Hannover would be so much more fitting for this location.

It's got Jack's lovely, urbanistic front, wrapping a more interesting and structurally dynamic tower. Everybody's happy, everybody wins.

Wow.......thats nice, i would love to see something like that in TO.

That building makes me think of an aircraft carrier. Love the look.

PE - way to kick us when we are down! this city is so lacking in flare.
