This is a pair of towers that I would not have been sorry to see go to 80 storeys, or you know, higher than whatever the next post says.

Such a refreshing blast of non-blue/green on the skyline. And, God, those Maple Leaf Square towers are awful.
 
Those twin towers would look great even at 100 storeys. We need a different variaty of coloured facades for this area. Instead of the blue green look! I like the Deep blue windows in contrast with the white balcany. Just immagine if One Bloor East used this shade of blue for their windows in contrast with their balconies. That building would even look more stunning than it is!
 
From this morning and afternoon:

Alright, I'll stick my neck out--the office tower, even from the south, is a study in elegant simplicity. The white framing itself is just right on point. The glass is top notch. I think it's a solid addition.
Couldn't agree more. I don't think it's the kind of building people would point out for being iconic, but it disappears into the skyline, which is what modernism is supposed to do. It's handsomely proportioned and the materiality is top notch. Well done.
