I hope so too. The glass reveal is like water and the balconies remind me of smooth stepping stones protruding throught the water. I love the look. The south elevation doesn't have this effect to the same extent. It will be there, but it will be much less obvious.

I like it too... and with the crystal at the other end we get nice defining architectural 'bookends' to the luxury retail strip along Bloor.

they sure are in no hurry with those balconies.
A month ago, they were prepping for 13th floor, today they are only prepping for 14th floor.

With the balcony width varying on each floor all the way up, how on earth are they going to clean the outside glass? Really can't use a swing stage, unless there's such a thing as a stage with an adjustable width?

No stage, just like spiderman

Like this on Minto uptown

Would love to see someone with more talent than me insert all the upcoming Yorkville area towers into this scene:

Where was this taken from? It's a remarkable angle, perhaps the best I've ever seen if the Yorkville cluster. The addition of U condos and Chaz really help spread things out, and the photo is taken at the perfect elevation with perfect lighting to really define each individual building's presence.

They\'ve added some rods to the side of the building, not sure what these are for. Possibly to hang flags or advertisements of some sort, I\'m not sure.

Mid-block entrance canopy? I vaguely recall the floorplans in the leasing brochure indicates that there will some kind of corridor at around the same spot.

AoD

 

[ChesterCopperpot]

Yeah - it's the main Yonge Street entrance to the building

IIRC there will be a hallway through to the Xerox building as well to replace the old outdoor alleyway that ran there.
