I think the building might look better if the corners were round? What do you guys think?

I agree. I wish more buildings had rounded corners. Looks more organic.

I remember saying the same thing about the Lower Portion of AURA some time back when everyone seemed disappointed with the building.

just a quick video...

I recommend watching that on 1080p 60 frames per second, and changing YouTube's speed setting to 0.5 for maximum awesome factor.

this was already posted by Thanos in the retail thread, but it looks like there will be a Nordstrom Rack at 1BE, and possibly Apple at 1BW....

Also, what is the 64 storey tower that GG have planned for "just north of Yonge & Bloor"?

An Apple Store makes more sense in The One than at 1BE -- as the article above points out, The One is designed without any interior columns, which is far more in keeping with Apple's design aesthetic.

To answer my own question, it looks like the 64 storey tower planned by Great Gulf may actually be 8 Cumberland... did not know that Great Gulf was connected with that project.... thx to Dwils01 and urbandreamer over at SSP....
