My dream scenario.

Please move this conversation to the Real Estate thread of this development here.. https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/357-king-west-great-gulf-real-estate.28195/

Wouldn't it be spectacular if the city built a plaza with steps/seating built into the hill where the photo above (Source: Flonicky) was taken from off of Broadview Avenue? Great place to watch sunsets, the skyline, and the fields below.. Something like this:

Some of the best pics I've seen of this project, and I've seen over a 1000!! Well done ProjectEnd.

Horizontal beams.

It appears in the renders that Q Tower will be set back a bit more from Harbour to allow for separate bike lane and sidewalk, as opposed to the joint bike/walk path as is the case currently. Also, the render shows how the building will curve to mimic Harbour Street's bend. Current (Source...

I am really looking forward to this development. Its black cladding will contrast nicely with the sea of blue (and aqua green) towers in that area of downtown. Plus, having a nice building at such a prominent location next to the Gardiner and facing the Simcoe off ramp will add a lot of...

The paint job on the lower east side looks good in that pic immediately above.

I am not clear what the final look will be. Is that white paint/cladding facing Wellington Street the finished product because I like it much more than the dark gray on the rest of the building.

It appears they have a bunch of paint options to choose from to cover the lower concrete section to the right of the options shown in the red box below. I hope they choose one of the lower options, which are in the red/orange colour palette. Regardless, I am glad they are painting that...

I'm likely very late in clueing in on this, but I wonder if 40 Scollard in the foreground of the pic below (Source: Google Street View), was the inspiration for the design of 50 Scollard? The setbacks are quite similar at 40 Scollard to the West side of this new development.

They haven't added any more of the delicious cladding since those two sections above were added well over a week ago. I wonder if they rushed to put those up as they wanted to show it off during TIFF? Likely not, but it seems a bit odd that they haven't added any more since.

Likely yes. While the rendering is a bit blurry, I seem to see the curved balcony glass up those corner units... Source: UrbanToronto DB

I feel like it already has started to become more cylindrical as it goes up as highlighted below. Source: Rascacielo

It appears they are finally starting to add new cladding panels. (See red boxes below) Very exciting. Really adds a nice design element to the building. Source: Canadaniel
