I would now like to petition that this be turned into a Laser Tag Emporium. Three storeys. All laser. All tag.

When I first saw the redesign I thought the black cladding was aluminum panel. Thank god they didn’t stoop that low (yet)
Just changing the precast brick panels to red would make this iteration so much better. Why the black?

I actually love the folded canopies. It provides some shade and privacy from the neighbouring balconies, and creates an interesting animated design element which most condo buildings lack here. Henriquez designed a building in Vancouver that has this feature on the entire two sides of the building which looks incredible:
It’s a real shame that this building design has been whittled down to the typical drab Toronto palate of blacks and greys. It’s on such a prominent corner site overlooking the park and DVP, it would have been such a welcome addition to this neighbourhood.
We have The Waterfront DRP to blame for them wimping out on the design, and DREAM for value engineering this to death from what was such a warm, dynamic and promising building. This now looks like a boring Wallman/KPMB rehash which we seen too much of across the city. A compromise on the colour would be more acceptable — warmer tones of beige and browns, or even dark reds, but this such a 180 from the original design.
