I have a question.

Is it just me or is the glass and overall appearance of the towers between SL and 4S very similar (other than the shapes of the building). In other words, if one transposed the SL glass to the 4S and vice versa, would the buildings look virtually identical to
as they do now?

I ask because I remember a fair while ago a lot of discussion about "which was better". To me, I really don't see much difference at all. Not an indictment. In fact, both look superb to me.

The glass is very similar to my eyes, it's the design and details at SL that beat FS by a margin -both complexes are great though.

Bay Street vs Yonge Street Views:

The Bay street canyon is quite dramatic, and especially from that aerial view!

Taken today. It was gloomy when I took this photo, but afterwards the sun started shining - thank god.

No shortage of beauty shots for this building.

So is signage going up top?

Interestingly the building looks must more appealing in your gloomy pic, than in the direct sunlight shot that follows it. I've noticed this problem with many of the newer buildings. The glass reflectivity suffers big time in direct sunlight.

I'm not so sure I'd say it suffers. It looks different in different lighting, which is a good thing.

I love those townhouses in the picture.

I'm not sure how many restaurant spaces there are in 4S, but one of them will house a second Buca location.

 

[Ramako]

Has there been any word as to when the fountain will be constructed?

Buca restaurant (King/Portland) will be opening a second location with a patio @ Four Seasons.
