From that ground-level treatment, I'm almost expecting Bridgepoint to be handing KPMB a few Riverdale half-round features in exchange for their design services (eccch, the thought)
 
Nomination for dumbest condo name goes to.....

Thank god the name will be overshadowed by its great design.
 
My bad. Hopefully the mods can delete my other post. *walks in shame*

As mentioned...

Project is called - Ice Condo's at York Centre.

2 High-rise condo's at 65 and 55 stories. 1 31 storey 800,000 sq ft office building. Design by Peter Clewes. LEED certified. Designed in a Scandanavian Designed theme with perhaps the largest green roof ever developed in Toronto.

My first impression is that this project's design ranks right up there with the L Tower and the Absolute World project, one step above Aura or 1BE.

Is this the first step in a general movement away from the omnipresent podium? I have never felt that every condo highrise needed one, and the "swiss-cheese" structure, while certainly unique and interesting, is not a podium in my opinion.
 
The glass in that rendering is perfect, I really hope they use high quality glass that will actually end up looking like that.
