I actually like the name Spectra... but in any case I look forward to seeing some renders / model pics.

I think of the Kia Spectra though, so it's a bad association.

I don't mean to steal anyone's thunder, but a quick Google search yielded these pics from http://www.torontonewhouse.com/blog/?p=654

I'm liking the flush of colour to CityPlace. The roofline and recessed balconies remind me of Pinnacle at Adelaide.

Whoa, colour! At CityPlace! Somebody call the press.

Whoa, another glass box! At CityPlace! Somebody call the design police.

Sorry for stealing your line, but I couldn't help myself, as a little dash of color just doesn't do it for me.

 

[egotrippin]

No worries.

While I understand the sentiment that CP is overwhelmingly glassy, the designs have been getting more sophisticated since they started building west of Spadina. Many of them on their own are better than a lot of the condos downtown, and are easily better than the complexes that Pinnacle has put up, or the clusters ruining Liberty Village. Just my $0.02 though.

For the most part I don't disagree. With the exception of the 1st phase of Parade, CP has definitely been getting better. Problem is when they're all clustered in together as they are, it turns into a sea of banality. The same problem effects Pinnacle's waterfront complex. Though I would also suggest that they're progressively improving their buildings as well, of course they started off from a lower point. And indeed its very sad whats happening to Liberty Village. As for this one, I suppose I should hold off condemning it until we see a few different angles/better renders.

Spectra makes me think of a cheap Korean car. But then next to Quartz I was expecting Topaz.

If you could see those renderings (they're tiny!!!), most of them are actually images of Quartz.
It seems each building at Cityplace gets better and better in its design inside and out, though I have to agree with vegeta-skyline, the tower is just like any glass box tower at Cityplace but with a few accents of colour -- there's really nothing to it.

The building in the background in this image is the podium of Quartz:

Shouldn't Quartz and Spectra be together in 1 thread then? It is really no different than any previous phases of Cityplace where there is multiple towers on 1 block (ie: Montage + Neo, WestOne + N, Luna, Parade, Harbourview Estates) ... besides, Quartz and Spectra will share the same underground structure and recreational amenties building
