I can forgive the quality if they remove and bury those ridiculous power lines. But not expecting much.

Are "bronzey" windows going to be used on the towers, or is the hue just a reflection?

Tous les Jours is the second largest South Korean bakery behind Paris Baguette (the one near Yonge and Sheppard). They're baked on-site.

It's not even the overuse of spandrel. It's the low-quality glass. Toronto developers gotta learn that the ugly effect of spandrel glass can be somewhat mitigated with the application of curtain wall-like glass: eg. One Pacific Condos in VanCity

I love how people are taking pics of this building every single day in anticipation of the window quality lmao

so slow :(

Looks like a Korean apartment

Toronto really has a knack for building monstrosities in its most prominent sites... A streak of beautiful development proposals then clonk! One of these comes along and destroys the aesthetic build-up. Almost as if the city knows how to put itself back in place.

Can someone please tell me where the marketing suite is being built?

That's what I don't get. We're not a 2nd tier city. We should be setting examples. Instead, aesthetically we're simply planting concrete bars into the ground and expecting people to live in them, while doing the bare minimum to improve the shared space for the people interacting with that...

Yes, road pavement + a minimal amount of effort put into maintaining sidewalks will improve the aesthetics a lot. This is evident when you compare Bloor Street vs downtown Yonge Street. While we can't compete with Vancouver's natural beauty, Bloor Street suggests that Toronto can find its own...

As someone studying urban planning, I'm trying to figure out for myself why TO streets look infinitely more depressing than Vancouver despite the building architecture being relatively similar to each other. And I'm starting to think it has to do with a combination of landscape architecture +...

Somebody please tell them to bury those power lines underground

Such a depressing section of Dundas Street...

It's a fitting design for Toronto's overall architectural landscape 🤷‍♂️

No matter how many condos they build, Toronto will always have the most barren waterfronts and streetscape experiences of all. It's magical.

Uh, so you think it's normal for cities to build density overlooking a huge graveyard? I guess it's fine for cities like Toronto that gave up their aesthetics, but not ideal

Guys, let's get out of the boomer mentality and remove that ugly graveyard. It's ridiculous that people think it's okay for a large graveyard like that to casually exist beside an urban center. Imagine the density we can add to that prime piece of land

Can we please make them redo the design? Thanks
