aAbsolutely aAwful. Honestly you wonder what work the DRP actually do and why they can't be given a mandate to ensure some degree of architectural quality.

^^^ I don't think aA designed the condo towers.

"If my memory serves me correctly, they referred to the architecture as ‘timeless’ when they were promoting the development."

Methinks "timeless" may refer to their huge archive of copy and paste tower files (more to come?).

Fortunately, thanks to the not lost art of bricklaying (kudos), the street level will be a very nice suprise and hide the towers from view. Hope the shopping is as good as the building ;-)

Timeless means took no time to design (the towers). The heritage building looks handsome indeed, and this development will bring much-needed life to the area. Just don’t look up!

Most of the scaffolding on the south side (facing Lake Shore) has been removed, and the heritage building looks great indeed!

As per usual the podium is many notches nicer than what gets built above it.

That's looking like a pretty great combo of "heritage" podium and modern extrusion if you ask me, both respectful and enlivening. Good proportions.

The execution of the podium looks good, but the sterility of the towers makes a poor impression.

The condo towers are fine. They get the job done. They're toothpaste green only when there's no sun. Otherwise, they're white. The Loblaws building rebuild looks great.

No offence, but this is part of the reason why developers like Concord get away with building trash like they always do.

 

[condovo]

^^^ I understand your point but what's done is done. And the Loblaws portion is great, which kind of compensates for the towers.

Oh surprised by a letter telling me that the occupancy date will be delayed to 01May2020, second reschedule from Summer 2019 to Feb 2020 then further to May 2020

As much as those towers make me angry to look at, the crowns are providing a bit of unexpected relief.

MISMATCH!

Those towers don’t deserve their own mechanical penthouse cladding ?

And here I thought these towers were already horrifically bad; but Concord keeps finding ways to out do themselves...somehow they found a way to make it even worse.

We have a lot of bad developers here in this city, but Concord officially takes the cake just for what they did with this. They are officially the worst developer in Toronto.
