Is this building the short one? Or tall one of 41 story ?

You are looking at the 31-storey tower in that photo.

I wish the glass was actually that blue, and not a reflection. I've been watching to see if they use any of those colourful pieces they used on the podium, on the towers at all but haven't spotted any. It's fun, but I feel like if its as sparse as it is now it will just look out of place.

The streetwall formed by the podium is great.

Topped off.

Sorry for the over saturation of photo updates for this building, but here's another one:

totally off topic but my favorite street wall of al time London Terrace Gardens 23rd street NY.

New York is so insecure, always using the names of other cities for its buildings.

/sarcasm. What drives me nuts is when Torontonians complain that we should not use names of/from other cities for projects here. It happens all over the world in the biggest bestest most secure cities anywhere. /rant

^What about York Condos--any clue where they're going? 2015 launch I hear.

Wish that pop of green was staying. The window wall on Nelson St is hideous. The bargain-basement materials of this project don't do it any favours.

Hoping the interior is nice because the exterior is a disaster IMO.

That is a hell of a lot of grey spandrel!

Agree with all of that. The pop of green is refreshing and I like the strong street apron. I can't find anything else nice to say about this one.

I have to say, I'm enjoying the valley effect on Queen from all the higher development on Richmond - low-rise, historic, fine-grained streetscapes with the shiny new-build density rising behind. It's almost like we get the best of both worlds.

Wow. Tough crowd. Agreed Nelson is awful but, Richmond looks good and the tower looks okay.
