A couple shots from the Jarvis exit:

I love the height and location, but I don't know why I'm not loving the design as much as CIBC Square. Feel like this wont age well. The previous version looked better.

One Yonge Street and the other One Yonge Street

Unpopular opinion but if they are tearing down the Toronto Star building they should actually put low rises in matching to the style of one young and use the three towers as the focal point rather than blocking it with another large tower

Now that the TO Star building is surrounded by contemporary towers it seems to have more personality. 70's Buldings like the TO Star can be seen from Walla Walla to Saskatoon however the late 60's and 70's represent an important era.

I just noticed that the exterior framing is being installed on the ground floor.

Don't get too used to it. It's coming down soon.

The previous rendering was far superior IMO. I think for this version, a lot depends on how the balconies turn out. So far for me, they are too big and taking away from nice cladding that would give the building a better look. I'm waiting to see some of the balconies to get finished in order to get a better of idea of how the end result will be.

Why does every residential building need to have balconies? Especially ones these tall. New towers would look so much sleeker without balconies and I don't know who is actually using balconies at that height. I really wonder whether Toronto developers truly know what people want to purchase or if they just stick with the supposed tried and true approach that's so geared towards investors who don't have any plans to live in the building. It's this type of mentality that's led to the glut of condos in the city that no one wants to live in.

I do agree, but it does provide such great views of the city.
