Toronto Sugar Wharf Condominiums (Phase 1) | 231m | 70s | Menkes | a—A

[mburrrrr]

Mburrrrr good catch - it is a rough (unfinished) block massing of the 'London On the Esplanade Condos' (30 The Esplanade), however it should be beige. Thank you!

Good. I thought you knew about a new build that I was unware of.

Seems like testing is done. The wrap-around balconies are wrapping around...

In the sun...

In the shade...

Looking pretty good so far. Not a stand out but certainly handsome in its own right.

Upon completion, the taller tower will be the tallest building in Canada east of Yonge St (Montreal's tallest building is just over 226m vs 230 m for this).

What about 1BE?

True that, let's revise the claim to east of Yonge that's not on Yonge

...or tallest building in Canada east of Yonge that doesn't have controversial chicken sandwich restaurants on the ground floor.

...or tallest building in Canada east of Yonge that doesn't have controversial chicken sandwich restaurants on the ground floor.

Or a weed store. But seriously, when it’s done, there’s nothing taller in Canada east of this building, and it’s likely to hold that title for a while, unless Montreal scraps its height limit, or Scarborough, Markham, Ottawa, Quebec City or (less likely) Halifax builds something taller.

Pinnacle One Yonge (specifically Sky Tower) will be east of Yonge Street and it will be 312m tall.

Do we exclude that?

No, but this building is east of Sky Tower. The title I was referring to is no longer tallest building east of Yonge (regardless of whatever store is on the ground floor), but tallest easternmost building in Canada.

Somewhat shockingly Ottawa might be the first to steal the crown by a couple metres. The tallest of the three Trinity Station towers is 232.5 metres (I think it's approved)... located quite a hike from its table-top downtown.

We'll kick it off with a two-for, from Sherbourne, just south of Lake Shore:

Now for the close-ups.

As clunky and uninspiring this project is to me so far, it's the attention to detail here that's going make this a winner I'll wager.

 

[Amare]

Imagine if they extended those fins upwards on the balcony glass, that would've made the whole thing much sharper.

Honestly, the podium is the standout of this project for me. These two towers are the epitome of bland and the balcony patterns aren't gonna do squat for it.
