I wish I saw this render sooner, so I knew not to get my hopes up

somehow this is still not accurate, unless they decide to then paint all the white wavy slab edges GREY
 
…if that’s their idea of exquisite, then we wouldn’t need awful. /sigh

It's wild that Tribute couldn't do anything better than this nonce garbage at an insanely central location. Like, you had a site *AT* the AGO, and you went: I'm going to ask Berardo and / or Enzo what they think would be cool here...

You know the old story, square building that are cookie cutter with the run of the mill crap is cheaper and faster to build while using the balconies as the design is the standard these days.

There are few buildings in Mississauga that should be in Toronto along with some Toronto waterfront buildings putting the bulk of buildings to shame.

When the Absolute Tower became the winner of the design competition, there were 15 other designs that would fit nicely in Toronto, but were not square with no one wanting them.

Very few towers have any real colour to them and this not one of them.

The finish kills M1 & 2 and looks like 3 on that way. Shape wise is a different story, but in the end, still a square box with ends and sides doing the shaping.

Artistry Condos Rising Near the AGO With Rippling Balconies — Now to 32 Storeys | UrbanToronto

Artistry Condos, with its unique rippled balconies, is rising into the sky kitty corner from the Art Gallery of Ontario in Downtown Toronto. The tower, designed by Graziani + Corazza Architects for Tribute Communities and Greybrook Realty Partners, was allowed a three storey height increase by...

32 storeys allegedly, regrettably, although the database still says 29, so I guess I’m confused.

As much as I don’t despise this project as most members, it’s undeniably bad, and any height increase, if confirmed, is unfortunate.
 
Reminds me of that Ministry of Defense building (generalstab) in Belgrade that was bombed by NATO in the 90s - which stood untouched as a monument for a decade

And what the complex looked like before the bombing.
