Absolute dog of a building the only redeeming angle is if you’re facing away from it. Nobu should be embarrassed their name will be on this hot mess. Not to mention an absolute waste of the heritage building on Mercer.

Totally agree, huge opportunity to activate a long dead stretch of King, especially with theatre shows coming back to life; Theatre Park's podium has also long been empty and that's always been a bit upsetting.

If someone has a tutorial I could follow I’d be happy to build and set up a time lapse camera once it starts.

That is a large block of land! Hoping something shows up in the basement space of Metro Hall.

Well guess I need to brush up on my firms and their buildings. Though I’m pretty sure the building that looks like 1 Bloor is actually Wellesley on the Park.

A more distant phone snap of the cladding in progress. In person the cladding takes on a bluer grey rather than the white in the renders. Still promising though.

And it was originally going to be taller too at 265m

This is the interesting bit for me, isn’t out of the realm of possibility to expand.

Well guess I don't need to hold my breath any longer for the brise soleil above each window. Still a pretty looking building though!

Huge fan, gives me Hong Kong/Tokyo/New York vibes all at the same time

I’d really like to understand rationale. Is it because they think it’s too imposing or blocks out “too much sun” I personally think we should be able to build streets like this:

From this angle you can also see the east facing glass on one of the towers. I thought we’d at least be getting curtain wall here, but nope. The entire render for this building was a complete sham, if I was a buyer I’d be furious. All these cut corners on the exterior makes it clear that the...
