The first two cranes, the ones on the south side of the building (the condominium component) are being taken down this weekend.

The glazing would appear more like 'cut-outs' if the mullions were darker, or both the glass itself and the mullions were tinted darker.

It's too bad it's looking so cheap because it's a behemoth; impossible to ignore. 1200 units!

Ugh?...If that's looking cheap then everything around it looks cheaper

Here was my view at the very top of Tower 1 -- trying to get accurate height dimensions for my louvers all around the mechanical penthouse.

Sorry for the bad photo - it was very hazy yesterday morning.

Tridel got it right next door with the black mullions and tinted glass. It prevents the visual mess and distraction of window shades and people's stuff behind the glass from distracting the look of the original design. The spandrel panels blends in better.
I wished other builders would learn from this.

I went by this at night it looks absolutely monsterous, even more than during the day. This is such a missed opportunity here. The facades looks so flat that it doesn't respect Teeple's design.
The massing is there, but everything is lost in the mess of window walls and spandrel -- this is the landscape of Toronto.

Teeple? This is Wallman, baby.

I was skeptical but I’m liking this, looks good from the gardiner. The space between the tower points are interesting as you pass the structure.

Ops! But you get the point.

Even for a quasi-casual shot like this, men still can't substitute their button-downs. And that's in freethinking Toronto.

None of the shirts have button down collars though.

This one will end up passable which, for Toronto, is good.
