My favourite new condo by far.

The view down from Charles Street West / ROM now contains 1 St. Thomas, (soon 77 Charles), BSN, CASA, and X. It's incredible. Not to mention Uptown and CrystalBlu at times.

I would like to thank everyone for their comments and pictures. We have purchased at X, and have enjoyed everyone's comments and pictures over the past few months. What a great way to share information.
I went into the Decor Center the other day and I'm on the 43rd, does that mean they are pretty much done options?
How many floors to go? 5??

I think it's now time to introduce the real Madame X that inspired Clewes (all this talk about Mies was simply a smokescreen).
"Madame X" by John Singer Sargent (1884)
Of course, I could be mistaken and Urban Shocker was referring to the Lana Turner "Madame X", given its byline:
Actually, neither American babe. In keeping with the Bauhaus roots of Mies's TD Centre, the inspiration was Teutonic - as in German director Ulrike Ottinger’s 1977 lesbian pirate film Madame X: an Absolute Ruler.
Madame X, a harsh, pitiless beauty, the cruel, uncrowned ruler of the China seas, launched an appeal to all women willing to exchange an everyday existence of almost unbearable boredom, though safe and easy, for a world of uncertainty and danger, but also full of love and adventure.

There were 6 or 7 floors to go + mech. on the 17th, figure one floor per week being poured so there are 5 or 6 floors + mech. to go.

Sounds like "X" (the condo)'s target market.....

I believe a pirate ship will be docked in the rooftop pool.

Can anyone confirm whether the Couture building is now going to be around 30 stories instead of the original 44.

I bet the building will be topped by Mid-November and the crane removed by early January.

Interesting.....I just assumed that they were going to use a fake turf for the putting green, I almost prefer it that way cause it'll keep the maint fees a little lower.
My guess is that this area will utimately become an area for dogs.....and less golfing
