Really disappointing...also how did someone plan to put a street light right in the middle of the entrance .... seems like a major oversight..

It's not in the middle of the entrance. It's not directly in front of the entrance. Only someone approaching from this particular viewpoint would even notice. Are we now going to design streetlighting around every building entrance? The alternative is a leafy tree.

Right up there as the best project going up right now.

I have been thinking about the same thing for sometime now.
1 Bloor East has some curves but looking at it closely, there seem to be lack of needed contrast on the tower overall.
Up close I can surely conclude that Five is aesthetically crafted than 1 Bloor east, I am sorry guys.......
The combination of heritage bricks and contrasting glasses makes this one a masterpiece !!!

The next thing is to renovate those townhouses on the north side of St Joseph. Always seems to be dicey things going on there.

I hope your not talking about these?, they seem fine to me
unless you mean, renovate them for the kicks to get the higher end crowd?

'Apples and oranges' though, surely! They do both contribute to the public realm at street level, just in different ways.

what is the scaffolding? for on the roof? Does anyone know how it will be finished?

It's for installing the curtain wall panels on the mechanical penthouse.

From Breadablane Street, December 6. It's a beauty.

The new concrete has been poured.

I have such fond memories of that spot. It used to be cafe New Orleans. I used to meet my friends there and had my very first cappuccino. I'm so happy the building has been restored. This was the centre of the club district at one time.
