M City is not generic, no - but it is kind of wonky. It uses a hodgepodge of contemporary "out there" tropes in terms of building shapes and hopes that the very variety itself will suffice.

It's a bit early to be concluding anything though. Perhaps we'll be pleasantly surprised.

Would be nice, sure - but if anything, they'll stay true to the building shapes in the renders and possibly value engineer down the cladding and other finishing details.

I totally understand why you're so negative and untrusting, considering some past projects from this developer. But I'd imagine these towers will be more comparable to their twin towers to the West, which in my opinion, are the nicest of South Core (maybe outside of 10 York), and will likely be nice additions. Ground breaking? No. But welcoming? Most likely.

 

[Lenser]

Guess we'll see! I'm open to being pleasantly surprised.

 

[isaidso]

We've been down this road so many times but I'll do the same. Fingers crossed.

This is 70 storeys and at a prime location. You have to cross your fingers and pray that Menkes doesn't deliver a turd.

 

[isaidso]

I do cross my fingers every time regardless of height, location, or developer. I don't pray.

June 11, 2020 - What a failure of leadership that we couldn’t even take down the eastern portion of the Gardiner.
