Question: Are any of the windows in X operable? i.e. Can you open them?

Yes. The bedrooms have operable windows within the lower part of the window wall; the living rooms all have sliding doors to the balconies.

Thanks. It was hard to tell from walking by and from the pictures.

5 or 6 floors of balconies have been painted on the west side. I wasn't sure if I missed this yesterday or earlier this week but the construction dude directing trucks in and out of the site confirmed it was done today. Also, another shot from above.

thanks dt ...

i find the contrast b/t the black aluminum + white balconies looking sharp!
just like how a good b/w photo becomes a classic.

Wow, thanks for the photos, I can only imagine this building topped-out! In my eyes this will be the best condo in Toronto. Well, other than 1 St. Thomas

What's funny is a lot of people dislike 1 St. Thomas. Go figure.

A lot of people dislike One St. Thomas? It was voted the favorite new residential building in this year's Pugs. It was a landslide victory.

Something like 80% of the voters loved the building.

The building does inspire strong emotions. But the voting results suggest its detractors represent a small faction.

Based on an informal sampling from among my friends, these detractors seem to mainly comprise modern design fanatics, depressives who wear too much black and think they know more about architecture then everyone else (which they probably do).

I wish the city had more Stern buildings.

Urban Shocker is going to smite you for that statement, though on second thought he would be more prone to be grey clad
