The tower looks great, and I love the stepbacks, I just wish the glass was nicer.

Oh and those Muzzo guys (bothers I assume?) are hot hot hot.

Thats a really cool vantage point ^^^, its good that four seasons will be visible from there. Due to its location, Four Seasons will be hard to see if your anywhere south of it (due to the manulife cluster).

This tower not only looks good because it has setbacks and avoids the PoMo pippydoos, but also because it is a welcome departure from your usual green glass curtain wall. Come to think of it, this might be the tallest condo built that doesn't have a glass curtain (or a glass and aluminum curtain like RoCP).

Yes - excellent massing and nice exterior finish.
And the building's also nice.

^Tee hee.

Although I like the building, I don't think it's perfect. It lacks elegance - it's a bit like a minimalist version of Art Deco.

But nonetheless, I agree: the setbacks and the non-glass exterior without the pomo pippypoos are a gesture toward the right direction.

And as for Brian Skinner

Uptown looks so epic from the north. And the setbacks on the north side just look awesome! And I I can remember in the renders, the mechanical box will line up with mini fins! Just so awesome. It's like an empire tower from new York ( though slightly whitened and cheapened as many would say)

Awesome stuff

Where's the giant Canadian flag today? Looking at this building reminds me of those tacky ads for those Daniels' condos in Mississauga about 5 years ago....

Nice shot dt! I'm really gonna miss this view once the 70 story giant 1 blood is built. It'll make everything else look small. And uptown look obsolete (depending on how you look at it). Funny how there's a power struggle between building modern or classical towers in yorkville.

You get sleek modern towers going up in yorkville like casa, four seasons, crystal blu, and 1 bloor

Then you get more classic towers like uptown and bsn thAt are not entirely clad in glass...

Yorkville: where old meets new!
