Toronto Living Shangri-La Toronto | 214.57m | 66s | Westbank | James Cheng

The only thing I dont understand is why there is a scale model of the Vancouver skyline? I wish they'd made one of our skyline with the new Shangri La included for reference...

Guess Rennie didn't think it was worth it...

They really should correct those maintenance fee quotes.. the fees are 54 cents, not .54 cents.

Looking at the virtual tours is the toilet actually in the shower?

LOL! It's hard to see from the angle of the VR, but from the pics, you can see the toilet is a glass-enclosed area ajacent to the shower. This is normal. I've seen many homes and hotels like this. Not sure I want to be looking at my wife taking a dump while I shower (or vice versa). I don't understand why it is not frosted (or frost stickered). That would make more sense.

And there's no chandalier over the bath. Artistic design choice by the sales centre designer, I guess as a joke, sort of like how they put a chandalier in the elevator of Ritz Carlton's old sales centre.

That reminds me of the guy who was quoted 0.002 cents/kb by Verizon while on his trip to Canada.

LOL! I was just about to label the pics remotely from the gym! Thanks for the assistance. You da man (or woman?) Solaris.

 

[Solaris]

Nono ... thank YOU movieguy for the great pics ~
(maybe it'd be better if I clarify my name as SolarisGuy ... like casaguy + waterscapes-guy )

Private Estates 02 (Signature 2 Storey Suite) is the box at the top of the west elevations ~

And this sucker is also visible.

Can you spot it?

 

[whatever]

I wonder if that blue LED lighting feature running up the north/south elevations will also appear in the finished building

 

[Sir Novelty Fashion]

I hope not. LED is to the late 2000's what pink neon was to the 60's. Of our time, but embarassing.

 

[khris]

Wow the podium area with the pool and palm trees is going to look so awesome from University!

Solaris, my guess is that is a rooftop unit?

 

[JayBee]

lawd jeebus!

Penthouse 1 is definitely rooftop. The private estates are penthouse and subpenthouse.

Okay, back on topic because I really apologize if I'm leading it too far into a discussion of real estate.

As nice as it looks, I'm not happy that the university corridor retains that cement wasteland feel, and while the street level podium blends in with the rest of the avenue, wouldn't it be nice if the uniqueness of the pool section's design, be extended a bit along university?

I'm reminded of the travesty at queen and spadina. Looks nice when lit up and across the street, but when you are walking on that side, it's either faceless, or imposing.

The rest of the Shangri-La tower adds something different to the skyline, which is badly needed. To many nondescript glass towers popping up.
