I hope that Great Gulf will propose a twin for X The Condo on this site (which would be just fine with me if X turns out to be as fine as the renders indicate it might, yes yes yes if you like this sort of Mies homage and I do). I'm not sure they will however - my impression is that after an initial burst of sales activity, that X's sales slowed more than the average project - maybe the market for retro-Miesian condo living has been fully tapped in this burg.
If it has been tapped - if Great Gulf don't think they can sell another building that looks like X - then here's what I want to see:
Remember that curtain of shiny silver circular tabs that used to flutter in the wind on the facade of the Pizza Pizza across Yonge from Sam's? Well, dammit, I want a whole building covered in those. Impractical? Who cares! I wants what I wants, and I think it would be amazing to watch a wave sweep across the facade of a 40 storey building whenever the wind kicked up.
I would really like to see a phase 2 of the X Condo so I hope Great Gulf has it figured out
