Is it just me, or, is that one ugly building?

A little too much spandrel than I'd like, but this is Toronto after all. Still, the scale and brick exterior works well with its neighbours.

Based on the last couple of renderings it sure does look like the developer has added a 15th floor or a loft floor for the 14th floor penthouses. The side facing south.

I have to say this one is turning out better than I imagined.

The park-facing side was always going to be a bit looming--but they've used huge, dark pieces of spandrel with very few mullions that I think are super effective at keeping the design clean.

It *almost* looks like a cladding system, but on a budget. Other condos could learn.

It is right! To be honest I thought this one was about to be kinda meh but it isn’t. Nice design

Yeah, I agree with the assessments - I thought this was going to be hot garbage, and it's definitely in the "It's fine" category.

Nice overhead wires and utility poles. Let’s you know you’re in Toronto.

A bit hodge-podgey overall but I think the precast brick sections up top redeem it a bit more. I do like the eastside profile of the building and how it's viewed along King Street.
