It's looking good, thanks for the picture update. They are awfully close, but I have no sympathy for people who can afford to live in either building, they can definitely fit blinds into their budgets.
I wonder why they didn't go with one of the circular patterns for the balcony glass.
It's the sort of detail that isn't noticeable from a distance and likely it was justified on a cost basis to just go with the completely translucent panels. Those sorts of savings are tempting when it covers the entire building-- those costs really add up.
Hmmm,... aren't these the same developers that delivered EmeraldPark,..... compare what was promised in the renderings for EmeraldPark VS what they actually delivered
some might call it cost savings,.... some call it cutting corners,... some call it not keeping their words,.....
Perhaps you're right, though I'm not sure we should so blithely accept that marketing materials can be just that--a depiction of a building without the responsibility of a commitment that the building will turn out that way. In fact, I'd argue we're entitled to blithely expect precisely the opposite: that the release of marketing materials just is the assumption of responsibility to the details of a project.Renderings aren't a promise. They are artist's interpretations and simply marketing material.
some are wrong
Only on Urban Toronto could people be complaining that buildings don't end up looking like on their renderings in a thread for a building that's turning out, so far, to look exactly like its rendering. Congratulations to all involved.
SRT you have hatred of Bazis that I can't really understand. This building, like Emerald Park, isn't at all bad.
LOL wut... that video is kinda' funny.For EmeraldPark which is the first flagship development from this developer,... their only other completed development is CrystalBlu, their OneBloorEast project tanked,... they talk a good game but consistantly failed to deliver as promised.
Here's what this developer was marketing for EmeraldPark in 2008
