This recent update popped up in my email. I knew it would disappoint.

That makes this so much worse.

"We actually designed this building to be intentionally soul sucking; it's very presence being a motivation for escape from monotony and inspiration for grand achievement. We are creating the leaders of tomorrow." - Gabirel Bodor probably

Wp would rather live in that van.

Interesting take. Like when you see an accident and you can't look away.

The grace isn't saving. It's just less-awful.

I heard this whole development is a troll and the Interiors are hollow like a hangar

make it stop. Even the town homes look like prisons. This is a complete piece of junk.

When the train tracks look better than the building.

I dont think he argued that Kowloon density was the goal, nor did he argue that every single block needs to have additional density. What he argued, i think, is that the vast amount of land area in the Annex, is being hollowed out. If we had 1 500-storey tower and 1000 acres of farmland we...

That's City-owned for access to transit. There isn't "great density." There's some. And few stations are north-south interchanges. Three are, to be exact and thus one has less than them all.

Less density near transit. Got it.

Side core, sky lobby, or just touch what's there. It's not sacred. Lots of designated buildings, especially with older easement agreements without good specificity get augmented. But I meant more from a planning and context perspective. And in any case, I wouldn't propose it. I'd propose...

I hate this building but I also see no reason why Spadina and Bloor should be limited to 35 storeys to start so unclear why this has to be so short.

This is as close to a self storage facility as I can fathom without being an actual self storage facility. Tragic.

One interesting thing is that the renderings are every bit as ugly as the final product. They truly delivered.

This is by far the worst project I have seen executed. I could not with best efforts design anything uglier.

Yeah - thanks! Arcadis and TF should be fined for such horrid designs. Boy oh boy this is going to be a block of crud. Add in the Kirkor Originate and it's a tripod of junk.

What is the tower just northwest? Looks about 40 storeys, south of Isabella and north of earl?

Also - in an office, people arrive at the same time, have lunch, and leave at the same time. You get huge peaks where clumping people matters and works. In res, people leave for work at different times, and arrive home at different times.
