Agreed. Looks nice but not so great for actual walking on.

I love the hard bollards on the north sidewalk; need more of that all over the city.

Why do you like them? I guess they make for a permeable edge for pedestrians while blocking vehicles, but personally I'd rather see this done with a multi-functional street element that could be sat on, or planted in, or contain lighting, for example.

I like almost everything about this building except the ground floor columns on either side of the main entrance. Pretty clunky. Perhaps these would have looked better in black or something reflective?

Polished chrome should be nice.

Oh, I'd also prefer that setup, to be sure, but I like the metal bollards because they prevent drivers from pulling their cars up on the sidewalk, which you see every day in Toronto.

Rain + sun + silva cells + time = those trees will grow.

I was fortunate enough to be the sales representative for 7 St Thomas office condos.
It has turned out to be a fantastic, iconic building.
Anyone who bought here is very happy indeed!
Here is a link to a CBC news story on the project.

Most of the London Plane trees are dead. : (

The Dessert Lady opened a cafe here.

Those cheap-looking white columns are a weird misfire from HPA on this project but otherwise the whole thing is perfection. Such a well-executed project; both architect and developer deserve praise for it.
