Fits right in and looks good. Similarly I didn't realize it was a rendering at first either. Hopefully it doesn't include that building to the north that Alex was talking about though.

I hope this IS the final design. Looks incredible and such a refreshing change from goofy/funky jenga type designs.

Albeit this is a render and not a photo, it reminds me a pic @ProjectEnd posted the other day in the Mirvish thread. It feels like you're looking straight up the face of the building.

Hullmark doing more big projects like this across the city could be very compelling. They seem to have a very high standard of work and architectural quality and understand that buildings shouldn't always just be snap-together spandrel and window wall. I hope they continue to do the great small scale projects as well though to help out our city on that fine-grained level as well.

I hope they incorporate sculpted stone panels into the facade for ornamentation.

It's looking good, but it could really use some custom-sculpted stone panels along the facade in the Art Deco tradition. At a time when artists are feeling the pressures of skyrocketing rents and inflation, they need all the help they can get.

A few more perspectives in the architectural documents. Such a lovely design, this one is a stunner for sure.

And for those worried about the neighboring building, it's untouched here.

This one shouldnt even be questioned whatsoever, build away!

This is exacly what the Queen/King-Spadina area needed more of, instead of you know whatever we've been getting the past 15 years.

 

[LUVIT!]

I love this design

 

[cd concept]

It's about time we get some art deco style buildings in the downtown core ! !

 

[Towered]

Pomo-deco?

 

[daptive]

Absolutely loving the renders but material selection and fit and finish is what’s going to make this an icon versus and eye-sore. Very fine line between art-deco and faux-deco

I trust Hullmark to not put up sloppy towers like the Daniel’s towers by 401 and Bayview.

Love everything but find the giant planters (and possibly an arcade?) a horrendous choice for Spadina frontage. Keep the fine grain retail, somehow please.

eta: it appears there is patio space along spadina. Still doesn’t explain the arcade to me.
