From afar these are fun (compared to up close where they seem solemn). I wish they had some outrageous name like "The Cows" to go with their striking look.

Because the public realm wasn't dystopian and depressing enough

This is a lazy, crude and frankly, offensive proposal that screams investor condos. Beyond the lame and overdone design language (which would be right at home at Dundas and Jarvis), the livability of the units (1200+ of them with 8 elevators?!) is what is most jarring. It's very likely that...

I appreciate the playfulness of the balcony design. Otherwise, this complex would have looked way too sinister / austere especially for the waterfront. My gripe is still at ground level. It feels like two towers on a hulking parking garage. Maybe they will activate and animate it but i doubt...

I was just going to say that I'm surprised how early 2000/mid 2000s this tower is for something complete in 2023.

Thanks HP for being this town's architectural saving grace!

It's a shame about the balcony glass. I hope the ones in place start cracking and have to be replaced like at 1 Yonge (Phase 1) so that at least there's a chance for salvation.

i just don't understand how steep / substantial the price differential is between black and grey spandrel. I can't imagine the savings being that great. The colour choice seems like some intense penny-pinching.

CentreCourt showing Madison Group how it's done. All this fanfare/hype around the so called luxury at Nobu and yet this discreet and understated project looks so much more high end already.

Stunning. Raised the caliber of office projects.

Given what we've seen from the messes at the Taylor and Peter+Adelaide, this will look stellar.

In what world do Paris and London contain 29 storey buildings on 140x90m blocks???? Please book a flight to Europe asap. These statements are as absurd as this building's planning rationale (or lack thereof). Architecturally, this building is a mess to say the least and the finishings are...

These photos need a trigger warning. They're using all the spandrel stock in town for this building

It's not a problem with towers, it's a problem with developments giving nothing back to the community, not throwing them a bone not event in terms of public space, or architecturally.

I like the texture but can't help being disappointed that it looks more grey than beige / limestone (the way it was depicted in the renders). The warmth is lost and it looks all the more brutalist for it.

the density here is pretty wild. Too bad the views are to subpar product.

gorgeous. Well done.

Though i am a fan of the look of these towers, i find that their size relative to their site footprint is just way off. This part of King /John St is cramped as is and could benefit from some breathing room. Two 200-300m towers facing each other, built out to the max lot extents with glass...

I agree, though in this case i feel like the building will have some texture due to the angled glazing. The large floorplate and curve also add impact. This is the type of project you see in the City of London. The One is another of my personal favourites because of the champagne tones and its...

An icon in the making.
