Looks like it’ll be much darker than the renders. Still looks good imo

It's actually exactly the same as the proposed model building, just the renders that were different:

It's

Watching this building grow from my balcony has been amazing. It's nice to have a seat and watch the cranes work

From yesterday while on a ride to Bike Share's birthday party, looks like floor 18 is finishing up, so two more floors for the last step before onto the final tower portion:

Poking up above the Gore:

Also I'm not sure we've seen what the north face of this would look like but the model seems to show it:

Those cantilevered levels of the garage are weird. Never seen that before.

 

[Chronamut]

yeah whats with the box jutout on the podium side?

Also those poor buildings in the gore.. if they collapse there will be hell to pay.,..

Wow that lower side looks like an ode to the next door YMCA extension from the 80"s

 

[Hawrylyshyn]

I mean half of that ugly side is already blocked, and they're probably assuming something will be built on the SW corner of Main & Hughson to block the view. Only will be visible from the alleyway/laneway.

I think of it like the ugly concrete side on Marquee - looks like shit but won't be visible forever.

It will also look 100x better than the blank concrete wall at the Marquee.

 

[Chronamut]

Maybe we can put an opera house on the corner and then the cantilevered area would make sense as those traditionally went up over alleyways to the actual theatre

ahh what I'd give for an old traditional style one.. that spot originally had a hotel on it - nice looking until the 80s destroyed its visual aesthetic.

The number of busses going up this stretch of James is wild. I live right around here and it's so busy at all times of the day. Surprised the city doesn't somehow utilize the GO Station more.

The Hamilton GO Centre was the second choice for a renovated Downtown HSR Terminal, but the City chose to leave it in the windiest tunnel in all of downtown, then stopped taking care of it, then turned the only indoor shelter into a Bus Drivers-only shelter.

 

[Chris R.]

Well the HSR revamp will get rid of the terminal on MacNab Street altogether and better integrate the GO stations.
