The precast has kill this project by being plain. If it was tinted with blue as in the rendering it would rank higher than a C on my scale. Across the highway is a lot better with a B+ ranking at this stage.

"Yes, Officer, it actually was very safe for me to take the photo of the two buildings under construction with my iphone. While on the 427 southbound collector lanes. While driving a motor vehicle. Granted, the texting while taking the photo may have been a tad unsafe. I will give you that."

I recently made a yok about this concept on a Facebook thread; didn't remember whether it popped up here, but sure enough it did, courtesy me, five years ago--I forgot all about it
"4 Eva" will certainly go over well with the text-messaging crowd...
...maybe they should try a little Bratz theme

What an atrociously blasphemous misuse of the name, West Village.

Most people don't know what the West Village is and would probably think of it as some generic subdivision name on first glance. That makes the name even worse.

Reminds me of the Gates of Argonath from Lord of the Rings.

July 30: Over 100 photos up on site not fix. Did a 360 of both projects
Sorry to say, Tridal cheapen on this project and doesn't come close to the rendering other than the shape.
If they had used a blueish grey precast in place of the boring standard run of the mill precast, it would a ton better. The rendering indicated a panel system to give blueish grey look.
The sales office is close as they are building the new driveway to the towers.
Night and day between the 2 complexes cross from each other with One Valhalla been the better of the 2.

It looks like bare, unfinished concrete from a distance. That's just sad. Highway 427 is lined with architectural garbage.

I'm actually pleased to see some precast. At least these buildings have some weight and permanence, rather than looking like giant temporary garden sheds, like 300 Front etc.

It's funny just how much this mimics 1 St. Thomas - right down to the x-shaped iron bars on the balconies.
