Whoops, I stand corrected.

The onion dome is awesome!

No, Trump is a box that does its shopping at Walmart.

Just a bit offensive. Not everyone shops at Prada you know.

Anyways to be honest I actually like the way they are resolving this building at the top better than Aqua. Aqua just sort of ends with a flat top and could have been much more, continuing the "running water" look they were going for into a top that would be the "start of it all".

No its the duke of boxes. The king of boxes is TD, the oversized prince of boxes is FCP and the duke (not even in line for the throne) is BAC

TD is the emperor of boxes, Commerce Court West the King, FCP the king's bastard son, and Bay Adelaide the duke.

Bay Adelaide is more like the Baron of Box, or really, the barren of box.

Meanwhile, 1 Bloor is the Sultan of Swirl, swirled balconies, anyway.

TD is the emperor of boxes, Commerce Court West the King, FCP the king's bastard son, and Bay Adelaide the duke.

So what building would be the Royal assistant cook's nephew? Or the First Mistress?

I wasn't implying the alternative was Prada. In fact, I was in Holts recently and that place is filled with wannabes.

I was comparing TT's cheap architecture (and made in china window wall) to stuff found at walmart. By cheap, I'm not referring to the real cost, but rather the implied cost based on aesthetics alone.

Extra 17-18 meters=255m

I couldn't be more pleased by the sound of that!

Yeah, also with Aura getting the extra 3s and Five the 5s, it sets a precedent that Yonge street is open for wheelin' & dealin when it comes to height.
