Great photo CN.! I can't believe what a huge impact this condo has when looking at it from this direction. I imagine the 'L' condo will fill in the gap between London & 25 Esplanade.

^ It's nice to break up these threads with a bit of light humour here and there.

And I'm not sure how this building relates to London beyond the silly name.

I think it's London, Ontario!

This is such an outstanding project. Pics taken today.

i like this building but i feel that it should have been 10-15 stories taller.

My understanding is that the neighborhood didn't even like the current height during the design process. Developers will always want to go taller so they can sell more.

Awesome photo update casaguy! It really is an outstanding building. I like how it almost looks like a different building when viewed from various angles.

Move in date for the east tower is now early april. They're firm dates which can't be moved by more than a week.

Anyone know how close they have to be to their scheduled move in date before they can incur penalties?

Great pics, thanks!
Love the corner shot from the bottom especially.

A shame, really, that it ignores the existing context of worthwhile adjacent buildings - the brutalist St. Lawrence Centre and the Modernist O'Keefe - and opts to channel the Ye Olde Red Brick style of the Old Spaghetti Factory instead. We could have seen something much more progressive.

The old brick buildings in the St. Lawrence Market area are not worthwhile but the St. Lawrence Centre is? Imagine a 30-storey version of the St. Lawrence Centre. Yipes. I hope US never ends up on any design review board in the city.

ya dont worry, he's definitely in the minority having anything negative to say about this project. yet, anything by aA is immune from criticism... makes me wonder.
