Yep not even close to it's true height and already looks so imposing and so beautiful absolutely loving the glass on this one can't wait till it passes the transfer slab and we start to see those curves get accentuated

The top shelf architecture that's starting to get built (Forma, The One) is imperative if appreciation for good design is to materialize. You can't covet good design if you've never been exposed to it. For many Torontonians, all they've ever known is banal utilitarian everything.



We have to walk by that thing for the next 50+ years.

I know, but my response was in regards to the post about how it looks from the water and how it effects the skyline. Anyway, maybe my opinion is skewed because of the plethora of ugly green and blue rectangles that have saturated the area.

Today. It’s grown by 0.6 cm

 

[Koops65]

That's 6 cm... not 0.6 cm.

Correction... that's 60 cm, not 6 cm.

So they crossed the coveted 345-m mark! Every centimeter counts fellas, if you know what I mean...

Personally, I would love to add 0.6 m to my height, this tower is lucky

April 18 - Looking forward to this one as it grows:

At this stage, it's kinda like One Delisle - tower is transitioning from rectangle-ish (with rounded corners) to circular

I love this shot; it looks like a scene straight out of a sci-fi movie.

It's disappointing that the "white" frit in the glazing shown in the renders has ended up as grey, but I guess it was inevitable. Fortunately, it looks like there's less frit on the upper levels, and hopefully the reflectivity of the glass will compensate for it in the right light.

Yeah this (like all) curtain-wall will obviously change depending on light conditions and angle of photos... but @tstormers chose a pov where it looked quite spectacular.

The diamonds of CIBC Square are often stunning... but also flat and borderline unattractive from some angles/light conditions.

What's really disappointing is how the building changed from the original render and commercials. That first rendering was spectacular. Hopefully it still turns out nice really to bad this happens to so many buildings.

This project is progressing rapidly, and I am excited to see its transformation on the skyline over the coming months.

I wonder if they will open the new Harbour Street extension anytime soon, seeing as how fast this is progressing. Any info on that?
