and that it blocks all views from several Units in the TCHC building to its south! One man's view is another man's blank wall!
BTW. If/when that TPA garage at 1 Church Street is redeveloped (which is under discussion, their 'great east view' may go!
I know people who paid a million dollars for condos only to have their views blocked before they even moved in....and by the same builder who sold them the condo with views

Anyone buying in a city like Toronto which is seeing huge expansion needs to look at 'views' very carefully. Good to have a park or a condo/coop in a 'non-blocking' location as it is unlikely that a park will be removed and its very hard to buy and demolish condos or coops. (Though certainly not impossible!)
 
Taken at noon and the rest at 5:30.

Those podium window really have a strong mirror reflection ! They pop out even more with black trim as you can see in the photos up above ! Let's hope those mirrored window's don't blind or fry anything across the street etc. Ha Ha !!
 
Almost 8-weeks of progress since my last update back in June! I’ll apologise in advance for my poor alignment of the images... That’s why I decided to use a comparison rather than a GIF!!

That will provide privacy for the residents...great idea...wish more builders did this
 
This is shaping up to being my favourite addition to the neighbourhood since Market Square (circa 1983, when I was two and a half)... luv everything about it - location/tasteful touch of height, massing and what looks to be great execution/materials so far. Don't need swoops, twists or shifts when a simple, elegant design looks like it has always belonged here.
