I think it's just everyone is terrified of The Cheapening(TM).

It'll be good, The Ritz won't end up a victim of The Cheapeningâ„¢, it's too high profile a building

Every time I see the Ritz shot from the west against RBC, I can't believe how thin it is. It looks like a tiny sliver of a building, yet it will soon rise above its new neighbour to the east. I like RBC, but Ritz makes it look like a fat pig in those two shots on the previous page.

as ritz fattens out from its south side, won't it end up covering rbc's signage?
the fat neighbour may have shown greater foresight by placing its logo in the north corner of its western wall.

The only thing that scares people more than The Cheapening is The Stumpening.

Besides The Cheapeningâ„¢ and The Stumpeningâ„¢, there's also the The Cancellingâ„¢ and The Circumcisingâ„¢ (both of which might happen at 1 Bloor).

Sadly, all seem common in Toronto

Let's not forget The Neuteringâ„¢: that which happened to the L Tower.

Really? The new design looks nothing like anything Neutra would have done

I didn't realize that little section on the east elevation was indented. I wonder if they're going to light it up to match RBC.
And driving in on the Gardiner today I noticed Ritz is now as tall as the first setback on Simcoe Place. Another three or four weeks and it'll top out the roofline.

Looking good. A little thinner than I expected, but the top portion of the building should be spectacular - for Toronto.
