Such a bloody clunker.

I guess people who really like spandrel glass will enjoy this tower? I'm really reaching to formulate a positive comment here...

Gee, we're spoiled here in Toronto, if in Buffalo we'd be drooling over this

I can't say I love it. But I think I like it more than I thought I would. It still seems very mysterious to me even though I pass it everyday. I'm curious to see its progression.

Well I hate spandrel, but I don't mind the colours of the spandrel they've gone with. I guess that's something.
I'm not taken to weighing in early on buildings until we see all the components in place… but I see no reason for any hope here. I'm afraid of the scar on the urban landscape this one is going to leave.

You'd be happy with a literal pile of crap if it was tall enough. Some of us have standards beyond height.
That said, I am an optimist and it is nice to see they kept the older buildings. At least we have something relatively nice to look at in this building's direction.

I don't like how it crowds, intrudes, and hovers above the nice heritage buildings.

Anyone know if they're still planning on the large ads on the north side of the building near the top ?

I don't recall it ever being confirmed that they were planning on doing that in the first place - just a lot of speculation from forum members.

Yeah, definitely members just cracking jokes. There's no room for any ads if you look at the rendering.

I was hesitant before about the idea of putting Sam the Recordman's logo at Yonge-Dundas square, but maybe we can use it to cover up this spandrel mess? Hell throw in Honest Ed's sign too! Anything, just cover it up.

Darn a giant screen facing Y/D square at say 35 stories would have been great!
