Toronto East United Condos | 82.6m | 24s | SigNature | Giannone Petricone

The purple balconies are actually the best thing about this building – at least they've got some panache. The rest of it is messy, poorly-detailed, drab, and cheap-feeling.
It's downright depressing seeing it while walking down Parliament Street. It looks like one, big, overpowering blob of dark grey that your eyes cannot avoid. It irritates me every time I walk by this building but the feeling even gets worse when walking west on Adelaide street and you are surrounded by big, grey, glass boxes that destroy any charm the area once had. I am perplexed by what has been allowed to happen to Corktown/St Lawrence but I fear it will only get worse. This city has lost its sense of balance and the value of a common good!
 
Yea I don't think people truly realize how terrible this is until they see it in person. It's so bad. Yes, I also agree that corktown has really jumped the shark. Just another Toronto hack job.

Found an old throwback photo I took back in May 2014 of 95 Berkeley Street, before construction of this project began:

That poor heritage building was just minding its own business and had this sh*t dumped on top of it.

Every time a new element goes on I think, "surely this will fix things", and then they somehow become much worse. ?
 
Can anyone confirm if the top 4 floors have a larger ceiling height? Looks like it from the exterior pictures.
That's mostly an optical illusion as the balconies I have not been clad on the top four floors yet. The second to top floor is 30 cm taller than those below, while the top floor is 80 cm taller than the typical floors. It's 3 metres slab bottom to slab bottom for most floors. Slab thickness and interior finishings reduce that height.
