Yeah, you'd get quite the view from up there. But I imagine a honking lottery winning would be in order to buy a place up top.
It seems to be aligned to true North. I like that.
Yeah, I was hoping the model would clear that up, but I'm still not sure what's going on with the curve!Wow, what a monster. I still can't figure out how the east and west portions of the upper spiral resolve.... almost looks like they don't actually connect.
Any better snaps of the top of the tower??
THAT IS GOING TO BE CRAZY!
sweeeet i hope the tower is 280 meters. thats taller then scotia right?
would love to live at the very top. crazyness
CollsGuy:
A good source has told me there a go at 291m

No folks, im talking about Aura. I'm doing the plumbing at the architects offices that are being renovated right now and have talked to the president and he personally told me there higher at 291m than "that 1 Bloor building". Some pretty fine ass 3d renders of Toronto's skyline looking south west from Bloor.
I'd rather have 10 10-story buildings on the ROCP/Aura site than three mediocre but tall buildings. Bonus: I reckon the 10 buildings would have higher density and better street-level retail than the three buildings (to be) built.
I think the idea is that retail at grade will draw streetlife to the area. Also, if the area becomes successful, there's the possibility that the subway sandwiches and dry cleaners could be bought out to create a trendy retail strip, whereas none of this would be possible with a blank concrete or glass wall, which would make that part of the street a pain to walk through, like Cityplace on Spadina.
What is this obsession everyone has with street level retail? It's so irrelevant. Are you going to be shopping at all these new towers?
