I always love when you post this series, because I moved to Toronto in the fall of 2012, not long before your first shot, so it demonstrates the pace of change in just the time I've been living here.

Agreed. I know this will sound crazy, but how great would it have been to have one of the colours be the cotton candy pink that was used in the marketing? Would be a showstopper. (Though might have to change the other colours to make it work - maybe white, pink, and navy blue.)

For the poor folks who have to work on them will definitely think those balconies are supacool'd alright, goodness. >.<

I think it'll turn out ok. It's just hard to see the pattern right now.
The good thing about this is there's no question they're using high quality materials. Could they maybe have been more ambitious? Sure. But I'll take a more cautious design at a high quality than something ambitious that gets value engineered, a la Nobu.

I'll take quality staid over cheap audacious any day—especially with Toronto developer track records.

The pixelated effect of the balconies and mediocre design of the towers is still not doing anything for me. Though I will admit the podium here turned out nice.

I see ads for this everywhere
I hope it lives up to the hype.

I'm with you, especially in such a prominent spot by the waterfront. Seems like a wasted opportunity to add something truly special to the skyline.
