Here's the tenth building up for this year's Pug Awards, which we hope you will take the time to vote for both here, and at the Pug Awards' official site. Our take on the Pugs is an experiment to see how our results will compare to the official results. The difference is that the official Pug Awards give you three choices: Love It, Like It, or Hate It. Based on suggestions from our members, we will give you five points along the continuum to register your feelings: Love It, Like It, Neutral, Dislike It, Hate It. Will that be too many options, or will that make voting easier? Please come back on a daily basis to register your thoughts!

Please click on the linked name of the building below to view more images and to read a description of the building and those who had a hand in building it. Please vote at the Pugs, and then come back here and register your UrbanToronto Pug vote too!

I like it though I'm not sure I'd want to live next to the DVP. Great view from the western facing units.

fairly non-descript modernist style. I'm pretty much neutral on it though I like the way the added height here creates a bit of a gateway feel entering into Queen Broadview Village... does the west wall even have windows or is it blank like the east wall shown?

If I recall correctly, the west wall is similar to the north wall.

I'm also neutral on this. I like how it meets the street and the idea of it, but I don't like the cheap-looking materials. It looks like a Borg cube. Pretty dull overall, but at least it's not trying too hard.

That is also a really good photograph.

Just wait until Sync by Streetcar is built across the street, it'll emphasize the gateway feel even more. And yes, the west wall is glass like the north wall.

Too neutral and dull for what could be a vibrant community. If gentrification don't add much, then the architecture should adhere to that. It's missing a charm and an identity of its own.
Toronto's residential projects are getting slowly but surely feeling boorish day by day.

They should have replicated the materials and alternating heights of the windows on the balconies while maintaining a balcony rail, which would give the building more of a uniform look, like X condo. The building would look more clean. That balcony glass just kills it and makes it look cheap to me.
