Jesus, I thought for sure that was a rendering I was looking at!

There's something about the precision of the details and the quality/composition of the glass (especially the balconies) that makes photos of this building look like renderings. It's fascinating; I've noticed it with many of its photos.

Beautiful lines; I've seen both Aqua ( Chicago) and 1 Bloor East in person, and 1 Bloor East wins hands down, IMO...

Yup, Aqua IMO..

Yup, Aqua IMO..

I agree that One Bloor East has a stronger street presence and is more striking visually.

Hoarding coming down! I repeat, hoarding coming down.

It’s been what? 8 years of fencing and/or hoarding at this site?

So very glad.

OMG I can't wait to get home and see the site without the hoarding. It has been way too long a time coming. Thanks for the update.

More from today. They still aren’t finished the sidewalks completely so it may still be a while before all the scaffolding is taken away and the sidewalks fully opened.

Nice to be back at home at "ONEBOOOB".

I'm sure it's just the photo, but if that's how the building signage looks in person, I say leave it as is.

of course the scaffolding would come down on this the day before the groundbreaking on the project across the street. Endless construction continues..

I think Aqua is architecturally much more impressive, specifically up close. But One Bloor is the better looking building.

Rainbow just now.
