Toronto Market Wharf | 110.33m | 33s | Context Development | a—A

As nicely integrated as the podium is to its surroundings, the glass slab squatting on top looks way out of context in this location. Wrong material and proportions, imo--red brick and setbacks would have been much more appropriate and respectful of its neighbours. Just my 5 cents.

A fair comment but I don't think the tower portion is disrespectful. A mix of brick and glass works well, and this building is a stunner.

^ very cool indeed. I always love looking at vacant balconies and seeing the potential. Should be a great eastern view there!

Absolutely great shot sMT! Probably the best angle of Market Wharf as it really shows off the waves.

 

[SP!RE]

Great shot!!! You never let us down, SMT!

 

[AndreaPalladio]

That may well be the best picture I have ever seen here.

Thank you.

Thanks for the kind words MrSocky, SP!RE and AndreaPalladio. You guys motivated me to put the shot on flickr and change the link in my post. I honestly didn't really look twice at it until seeing all the praise. Thanks again

Looks surprisingly close to the render.

I was just thinking the same thing! It just needs a few more trees with leaves out..

The little 'render park' between the Market and Market Wharf is still a car park but later in 2013 it will become the home of the temporary North Market and then, at last, when the new North Market opens in 2016 it WILL be a park. It really will look quite like the render then :->

I notice that rendering shows trees on the north facing terraces at the top of the podium. Wishful thinking, I'm guessing.

If building doesn't provide, will the tenants be allowed to bring some in?
