I am glad that you guys seem to like the building. Thank you.

Of all the towers going up this is the classiest and most elegant.

Thanks big daddy for your compliment. I am happy that this turns out okay. I wish there could be a bit more articulation. I can't wait until it's completely done.... Look forward to seeing more pictures by the others.

hey bqbq, are you a purchaser at Uptown, or were you involved with the project?

/I like Uptown too - it's a nice contrast to all the modernism going up everywhere......

If the developer wanted an Art Deco-looking building, they should have allowed for more detailing in that regard.

the cladding is reaching the top !, i'm suprised with how good the cladding looks from ground up! There are some really fantastic textures/features of this building depending on how you're looking at it. it looks really clean and sharp

I cant help but think how odd it seems to not be able to see Manulife from this angle anymore!

That's one of the things I knew I wouldn't like when I saw these buildings going up. The view of Manulife from Yonge and Bloor was probably its most flattering.

There are some really fantastic textures...

Actually, it's the lack of texture that really bothers me about this building. Otherwise, I agree, it's turning about better than expected.

Yeah, this is kind of like an art deco newborn.

Wait till you see the inevitable grey streaks/stains start to appear in a few years time. The best is always yet to come with off white precast.
