The building keeps catching my eye with its distinctive colour.

Hello from Downes Street & John M. Tinsley.

I realise that the blue on the mechanical penthouse is simply waterproofing skin but it does add to the look - no doubt the 'siding' they put on top of it will be less striking. Pity!
 
color is nice but the economy is still so bad. both the new condos adjacent to it still have yet to find renters for all the shops on the ground level.

prices for this were well above +$1000/sqft I dont know how people can afford the occupancy fees

The St. Lawrence condo to the the west of this development has leased all the retail units, the last vacant unit on the corner is currently being renovated in preparation for H&R Block to move in.

The Time & Space condo to the south of this development is its own problem, with unattractive and awkwardly sized units that don't seem to be garnering much interest.

Quite a bit of other retail has opened recently in surrounding buildings, and this one will include a Tim Horton's, in the facaded brick portion along Sherbourne.
 
I think that the general consensus (here and in the neighbourhood) is that of the three adjacent buildings, the Whitfield is by far the best, the St Lawrence Condos have turned out better than many of us expected and T&S are at the very bottom of the group and in the wider area. The retail leasing community seems to have the same opinion.
