I Skycandy's photo series, those red berries are wonderful! Kudos to the landscape architect for planting species that add colour into December. It's like a render come true

You will be pleased to know that MVVA (the landscape architecture firm behind the park) have multiple ongoing projects in Toronto - including the Don Mouth project and the Landscape of Landmark Quality at U of T.

Passed by today and balconies are up on the west side! Look good but I’m a bit disappointed that they dropped the gold colour shown in the renders. Think it would have given some pop.

Agreed. That yellow would have popped!!

I am not ready to concede that there will be no gold on this building.

If the gold is gone, I won't mind. This building has every bit of 'pop' that it needs.

This morning...

Impressive that they are using frameless glass railings on some of the balconies -- you don't see that done here.
I'm guessing there will be an aluminum handrail cap on the glass to prevent the glass from shattering if there was an impact to the edge of the glass.

Sorry, why was it that they decided not to go with the yellow balconies. I can refer back a few pages if it was discussed.
(on those you have zoomed in there skycandy).
Thank you btw for posting the latest.

Not discussed. Also not confirmed that it has been removed.

Still holding out hope for the yellow.

 

[Dr. Snoot]

I am also impressed they've gone with frameless glass balconies, since all the other balconies do have visible frames.

I'm not sure how there's any hope for yellow though. I imagine it would have been coloured glass -- unless they double pane, or apply a strange tint, how would they incorporate it at this point?

In any case, I've e-mail the sales staff to ask, so hopefully we get an official answer!

Seasons greetings fellow UT-ers! May the New Year be filled with happiness, good health, and plenty of new cranes.

More unwrapping for Christmas...

Still a HUGE dissapoinment not having gone with some of the pops of yellow balconies. They really made this stand out in the render. Now it’s just blending in with surroundings... kinda.

 

[Lenser]

Blending in? It's the tallest structure in its immediate area and it has such striking lines. I'm OK with the balconies thus far, overall there's a clean modular look to this building and I'm thrilled that it's a new east end landmark.
