And where was this taken from?

So am I 2 for 2 or have i been tricked by digital zoom?

The awful, unevenly-spaced balconies just stand out in every shot now. That design really called for evenly-spaced balconies as shown on the render.

But as some others have pointed out about distance, it's a nice addition to the skyline when viewed from Victoria Park and Eglinton.

I'm sure that Chernobyl looks awesome from a distance. Just don't get so close.

I hope the "architects" who designed this never get another building approved downtown.

The building does look great from a distance, especially when looking at the entire Yonge corridor from the lake to uptown. Two bookends - the cluster around downtown and the cluster at Bloor/Yorkville - and then a smattering of small condos and then this monolith. Shame about the craftsmanship though.

It's also really impressive from Riverdale -- looking across the park from Broadview, Aura rises up essentially alone.

That was the view I was thinking of! I was at The Rooster a few days ago and took a walk along the brow of Riverdale Park. It also really stands out driving eastbound along the Gardiner near Strachan.

I don't see it! Can someone explain how the balconies are not evenly-spaced?

I pointed out a few of the uneven floors for you. There are several more

Still no where near as in your face bad as Trump's uneven floors are.

The big mess on Trump is about halfway up, so from my regular view it's blocked by other towers.

And that's an advantage with Trump, it's blocked from view at a distance from several directions.
