Garbage

The aluminum mullions and pale cold grey spandrel cutouts ruined it. Wouldve been better if it was just the charcoal and aqua rectangular design for the whole tower.

What a stinker.

We knew this was going to be terrible. Sad.

Looks like the rendering without all the cool lighting and reflections. I never had high hopes for this. The Entertainment District is where good design goes to die.

I'm surprised by these comments, out of all the buildings, I'd say this looks a lot like the renders so far (less the typical non window wall finish, even though renders show otherwise).

 

[ProjectEnd]

Agreed, @taal, another one that's fine. I agree with @xy3 in that it might have been better with a cleaner, more reduced, 'idea' palate, but it's fine.

Agreed, but you can say that for most areas in Toronto. Yonge & Eg, NYCC, Humber Bay Shores ... even Yorkville has plenty of duds.

I'm not sure I would consider something passable with two different style/tones of bargain basement grey spandrel though...

Edit: "It looks less bargain basement if you look at it closer...maybe the style of cladding they used is a bit too busy for you, Uta?"

...er, well...I guess so? >.<

Capturing two of the Entertainment District’s most unfortunate new towers (Maverick in the middle, Nobu on the left)

Agreed nothing special About this one

[cd concept]

I think this development is going to look sharp. Mixing its semi dark glazed windows and dark smoked cladding. With the mirrored glazed windows and bright linear trimmed cladding of a tower. On top of the rebuilt historical podium as seen in the photos up above. Should looks sharp in my opinion when finished.
