I welcome faux historicism, Toronto is lacking in some of the more interesting buildings of the early 1900’s it need some old world feel in some places around the city. I find these keep the glass towers anchored. And add something other then glass towers.

( regarding previous comment ) I guess you got me there!

On purpose. But thanks pal

You’ve missed his point entirely... keeping a facade isn’t conting as preservation surely? I’m gong to preserve my Porsche by only keeping the front section. (And have it mounted and built around) note this is half a pourche now not a car at all. It’s a decoration piece. Useless and...

Grammer Police, look out! ???❌ Must be a teacher thing I guess? most get the idea. But thanks for always keeping us safe in the web world...I mean, think of the children. ?

Ah so what specifically are you seeing them do?

Speculation and conversation on the topic go hand in hand let’s not attack each other. It’s just a forum. And no one is slandering names in the last few comments by buildupand others previous. Rather the other way around. Let’s try to relax a tad shall we. Thanks in advance. But look forward to...

Is it not ready for approval or just in waiting? Seems an awful long time to see ones vision happen if your into designing buildings. That’s patience.

So.. sorry if I missed it but did the design get tweaked? It’s floor counts till the set back have long past and yet...

Who did the shangrila? More like that would be nice too
