This is an elegant tower overall but the crown and podium could have been better.

Tower is a 9/10, podium is a 5/10.

Fixed. Sorry 'bout that.

This is such a great spot for a nice larger pool with pool chairs on the sides and a bar... Would have made The One residents jealous all summer.

Condo pools are a joke. Those tree islands are useless and take up too much space. A large pool could have been built instead of that puddle that looks like it can accommodate about two people at a time, comfortably. All one could really do is just sit still, as if they were in a hot tub.

Not all the condo pools are bad. Here is Pinnacle on Adelaide, a large indoor pool. And the area arround the pool is spacious, with sauna, hot tub and more.

@kotsy I give, where's the tag in that one?

I meant the outdoor ones. They are really just aesthetic gestures and serve to add ambience to rooftops. They aren’t practical to swim or splash around in.

I think it is on the light pole in the foreground, roughly half way between the signage and the metal rail (barely legible).

Correct. It's suffered some weathering

I thought 1 Bloor would also have an indoor pool?

I disagree, the pool at X condos is quite nice with the cabanas outside.
