On the one hand, it's nice to see something that isn't blue glass and spandrel.
On the other hand... I dunno. It will come down to the details.

Could be nice if implemented well.
I'm sure there's going to be revisions.
Curious to see final designs for the park.

very New York-esque which is a good thing.
plus: GG should work on their previous proposals (Gehry and four eleven) instead of proposing more projects.

It looks very handsome to me and would make a great addition to this area. Love the massing and that fact that it's not all glass/balconies for a change.

I first read that FP header as a 39 story park...

This is really going to shift the big city feel of the Financial District westwards to Spadina. A great next big statement piece to compliment The Well.

The only thing I don't love is the ground level Spadina frontage. Just a sterile wall of glass, but hopefully that gets improved in future iterations.

Major W for breaking up the array of blue glass towers when viewing the skyline from the west!

I would be laughing if they would put in ultra-large panes of glass like that. Other critiques - the flat top of the building look awkward and unfinished - though having said all that, it's good to see a building breaking the mould.

Noticed the article includes a diagram outline a 12-storey proposal on 16 Oxley St, is there an UrbanToronto page for that site?

I believe that's 355 Adelaide wrapping around 36 Charlotte.

Glad to see Spadina is not fully pervious to the light blue glass onslaught. Art deco, why not? The lighter glass base is a bit odd not matching the heavier top but if done right and with a coffee shop depicted looking out onto a parkette should create a desirable urban space. Looking forward to it rising.

Love everything about it and what a relief that we're finally getting some buildings with character. After 100+ soulless glass towers this is cause for celebration. Only had to wait 25 years. Are we really getting a courtyard on that corner too? Please please please let us have this. Says alot about how desperately Toronto needs this that I've resorted to begging.
