This thing is getting huge...in a few weeks my view will completely change!

There's nothing like it in the city. What a beauty.

HP has to be the best large scale firm doing it right now.

Amen to that, this(along with the Delta) is my fav project(s) in the cladding stage. Out of all the GTA's mass production firms they have the least amount of misses. They given us some much needed diversity in design never remaining stagnant, while at the same time never compromising their attention to detail. Heck the only project of theirs that I'm not a fan of is Pinnacle on Adelaide, which of course was subsequently value engineered for Pinnacle.

I'm also loving the preliminary work they've been doing outside of the city as well, continuing in the One Bloor motif (i.e. making use of sweeping vertical curves);

I'd love to see that go up in Toronto, but it's good to see Toronto exporting design--any local product or service that's exported is important for the city's economic development.
 
That's Chicago influencing design. To export it, you have to create it as HP did in Toronto for an Ottawa project.
 
sorry, but what is that model in second picture of vegeta skyline?
 
Don't think it actually has a name for itself yet. Its labeled as Wood Wharf residential tower on their site but Wood Wharf is the name for a massive mixed-use development project/neighborhood in London, England which will encompass 3.6 or 3.8 million sq/ft of office space and 3,000 residential units in addition to a hotel and retail space.
 
that will be a beautiful looking building if it becomes a reality.
 
Sorry I don't know why my flickr linked photos don't reliably post. Any ideas? They are set to allow anyone to look at them.
