So many cranes :eek: . The eviction process started for the block on the corner of Gerrard and Parliament. Demolition to begin in September.

It manages to be both too busy and not busy enough. Darker windows, mullions and spandrel might help, to give more contrast against the precast framing. It actually looks all right in earlier photos from before the windows are installed, but right now it looks drab as a raincloud.
 
The gray at the lower levels really looks deadly (and these blurry pics don't flatter it at all…)

Grey background, Grey building... really not a fan

Also seem like there aren't a lot of big or wall to ceiling windows in this building as well?

I'm aware that there was a building code change that requires more walls for insulation purposes, guess I won't be seeing corner units with expansive wrap around wall to ceiling windows anymore.
