I've seen enough. This is trash.

Yup - there's far better looking stuff among the Regent Park redevelopments. Perfect example of the saps buying here having more money than brains.

To be fair, the building looks one way in the marketing, and another in real life.

I don’t think it’s fair to blame buyers for this, at all.

But this serves as an example of why local architects - in addition to reasons of practicality and useable floor space - reject curves in their residential buildings. What is originally drawn as a smooth, svelte line in plan will almost inevitably be value engineered into a faceted series of abrupt lines forming a “curve”.

Office projects permit a budget for nice curves (see HPA projects) but a res. project is far less forgiving.

How many more stories to go? So dull and lifeless.

Haha...come on its got some curves how can it be that dull..

Curves don't make much of a difference if the materials used are cheap.

At least it's not the cookie cutter square buildings we see daily. I am on the fence for material and need to see more to say more.

the frosted glass motif and the curves of the building looks good from far.

Yes, but the mullions kills it IMO. Just too busy.
