I don't even know where to start with that render

 

[DarkSideDenizen]

I'm reminded of those diagrams you're not supposed to stare at for more than a few seconds else you lose your mind..

NW corner of Dundas & Jarvis looking pretty coniferous in that first rendering.

That media tower at Yonge & Dundas really stands out without the Eaton Centre as a backdrop.

It beats having Filmore's in the background, pretty much where the TEC media tower is shown.

That is possibly the most misleading render I have seen.. This thing is a considerable distance from Yonge dundas but they are selling it as if it is across the street.. (Really its across the street from Filmores and a Tims)

In order to get those trees in there, just for starters, they'd either have to relocate this to The McMichael, or turn that parking lot between the Merchandise Building and the Inverse Pyramid of Spies into Birnham Wood.
Having what looks like Cityplace on the far left, with Yonge and Dundas in the middle distance to the right, we can only assume we're looking through quadrifocals at Yonge and Front, now located on Polson Pier. Yonge turns into Dundas, intersecting Yonge again! This thing is like a Klein Bottle via Escher. As for how the CN Tower and the rest back there got rearranged - either the downtown core has finally had enough and is slowly seceding in a north-eastward direction through Caledon, or the rest of the city decided to cut Jarvis and Dundas loose and float it out into Lake Ontario.

Yes, when did Filmores become the new Eaton Centre? Once you see deception on that level, you have to question everything in that rendering.

Inverse Pyramid of Spies

Ha! though technically Caledon is to the northwest.. or is that another part of the escher puzzle?

 

[CanadianNational]

lol Northwest - right! But with this rendering, heaven only knows. At least they got the Ho-Lee-Chow right.

If that render had even one more searchlight beam in it, I'd be scanning the skies for German Blimps.

Filmores Hotel is a great building -- what it is used for -- not so much.

Exactly. If the rendering is so careless and false in its accuracy, then how can one expect this developer to be genuinely interested in creating a beautiful building?

 

[CanadianNational]

I suspect we won't have to lose sleep over any fear of the developer's aesthetic aspirations being besmirched.

 

[innsertnamehere]

Ho Lee Chow is a Timmies now I think.

 

[ChesterCopperpot]

Correct - there's a Smokes Poutinerie just east of the intersection as well

This is the biggest rendering fail, it's very deceiving and so is the name as it is 6 streets away from Dundas Square.
Looks like Dundas Square is sitting up on a hill just a block away.
