These are turning out surprisingly decent. Would not mind having a few of them downtown (with better materials, of course) to break up our still-boxy skyline.

7 June 2014: New podium?
(They only wreck churches like this in Hamilton, right?)
OK, so it's not awful. It's not modern of course, but it's not a "window wall of shame" grey either is it?
I always forget how St Clair West has a number of architectural beauties--this pair isn't in that group.

St Clair from Yonge to around Avenue is an outstanding streetscape.

I wouldn't mind something like this down in Southcore - something to break up all the glass monotony.

I agree, add CityPlace to that...shame, cause not much land left to build on

This is what Uptown should have looked like.

These are (green/blue/grey) glass towers so I'm not sure how these would add variety to the railway lands. Minimal use of spandrel glass is commendable.

They look like mini versions of ROCP I & II. Same awkward proportions and clumsy historicist gestures.

I'd say they're far nicer.

Agreed... the materials look much nicer, and the way the roof resolves is better.

This project has better glazing than 90% of what's going up in the sky these days, 91% even.
