Still no word from the receiver to purchasers. I have emailed many times with no response. Still wondering if they will honour our agreements.

Photos of The One at 45deg angles like this photo really showcase how pronounced the cutout of the mechanical sections are. It makes it seem like a perfectly balanced Jenga tower!

It's great!!

random thought i've never understood the appeal of yonge-bloor. it's one of my least favorite places in the city. ugly architecture, lack of greenery, little in terms of interesting shops, the most pretentious people,

^ does that include the hard-working therapists at Soothe Massage across the street? They deserve the Order of Canada imo.

It's not one of my desired locations either but it does have loads of pluses. It's on 2 subway lines and there are many options within a 5-10 minute walk: U of T/Queens Park, AGO, Church Street, Ramsden Park/tennis courts, David Balfour Park, and loads of employment in the area. In terms of high-rise architecture, it's by no means any worse than what you find in other parts of downtown. I'd take it over City Place, Bay Street (between Dundas and Bloor), or Regent Park.
