I love this project!! I feel this is the most important development in Toronto now. Followed by the Bloor 1 tower and retail podium. Aura will revitalize the college area, as far as retail and future development goes.
When Sears tower was built , that area was run down and a kind of backwater, it has since been completely turned around and I predict within 15/20 years of completion, there will be a half dozen 650 ft/ 1000 ft towers in that area, as long as the market don't tank, meaning that cycle will be pushed back a little further as the market returns..
By 2040. that CP area should have a good degree of infill, and a continous skyline from the lake to Bloor!!!
I also think that the design will encourage development in that area, it will be a landmark and it should look great for decades, "I live just down the block from Aura" will be a marketing tool, along with the school, and subway!
For those who dont think Toronto embraces great design or bold new styles, Aura should be some form of reprieve, this tower is pretty bold and I hope they embrace it.![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
