These have got to be some of the worst glass balconies in the city. There are so many buildings that at least don't have super-visible lines between every panel, that it just looks cheap and embarrassing here.

The balconies are ghastly, unfortunately that fit with the rest of this monstrosity.

It's not getting better.

Remember when it was going to look like this:

That version had its own flaws...........but this one....................sigh

I thought those renderings above were going to be the finished product. Were there updated renderings since then? How does that rendering look like the mess we see today? Given who’s involved here I’m shocked at how bad this looks.

Maybe it is? It just appears to be such a jumbled mess, I assumed otherwise.

I didn't think the render itself was that great either; but what's going up thus far is a borderline abomination.

It's not that terrible. I just hope the grey precast gets some sort of coating/cleaning/surface treatment. I hope that's not the finished product. The rest I can live with, although it's unfortunate that the balcony railings read kind of green.

Agreed, it's not bad if you compare it to a Costco.

Sad to see those beautiful heritage buildings overwhelmed by this looming monster.

To go from ground-breaking 18 Yorkville to this. <shakes head>

Costco has cleaner lines, sample stations and $1.50 hot dogs.

It's not good for Toronto by any means.

I see aA's fingerprint on the window wall.
