I agree. The embedded 'Crystals' are just about the tackiest thing I've seen in a new build. Ugly personified.

Sunrise at Yonge and Bloor today (with Casa Loma in the background)...

God that mechanical box is awful. It dominates the whole building.
Very nice Casaguy! It would seem it's your own building whose shadow Crystal Blu is lurking in: note the balcony edge shadows on the box at the top of CB. It's possible you could photograph your own shadow against CB some morning!

Epic photos casaguy! lol. Just don't lean over too far to achieve that effect! We need your great vantage points for photographs - oh, uh - and we like you too
Seriously, Uptown is looking good as it progresses, especially from your POV.

Hmm... sounds like a good dare.
I don't think it's possible to ever tire of my view. It's addictive.

It might look better once its clad... Indeed, epic photos casaguy! I wish i had your view!! Crystal really looks nice in proportion to Manulife.. I think they got the height right for this one.. It looks nice alongside Manulife!
CASA >>>>> CASA loma ... hmmmm... any similarities at all?

Interesting how the windows are different on one floor on the south side - maybe units were combined to create a bigger suite.

Same with me at my place, I love the unobstructed city and lake views.
Does anyone have any insight as to how the hat at Casa is being finished off?

I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't lit at all. Considering that it would impact the penthouses and that the base of the hat is very, very dark I'm not sure it would work out. Although the renders and model show it as lit, perhaps plans have changed.

Progress this morning.
I'm noticing that wherever the window pattern does not repeat, there is a lighter coloured panel (which I'm liking and would have preferred as the dominant colour rather than the grey)...
