haha, some people get so exited watching balcony glass go up, but how boring, i just don't know what to say about this box anymore

Probably nothing would be best.

I'm more excited to see the granite sidewalks going down along Yonge.

Some people just can't find positivity in their lives. I for one think regardless this is one fine addition to the city.

Posititvity is good but come on, "balcony glass"?? no doubt this is a fine addition to the area

As an architectural element that would be defining the overall looks of the building, there is much reason to get excited watching the balcony glazing going up. Not so sure about reading some generic specs on new projects by third rate "architects" though.

The last 4 photos show what a huge impact the balcony curves will have on the overall look. This is on an overcast day too!

I never knew the construction crane on One Bloor East was easily visible from Danforth and Woodbine.

Of course! It's an excellent line of sight.

What a cool city in the distance...

...this will always be Uptown to me. I think it's a fitting moniker.

I was unimpressed with the balcony glass, thinking "this is what people are raving about?".

Then I scrolled down to this photo. Wow.

That's good. Because Yonge+Eglinton is Midtown.

I can't wait to see how the The One looks from there as I live really close. Also curious if the curved balconies will make any difference from that distance.

great shots kotsy. This is such a beautiful building. I've seen Aqua in Chicago in person, and 1Be puts it to shame in so many ways. So nice to have such a good addition to Toronto.

It does remain to be seen what effect the balcony glass will have from a distance, but as your killer pics show kotsy, it's going to be stunning up close. Thanks for them!

i wonder how it might have looked with a slightly different colour used on each "strata" - to help emphasis the dynamic accent of the balconies.
