Thats why its called My Tribute in their televised ads. I feel the PTSD in those ad campaigns.

Yesterday

Yesterday, the taller tower is the rightmost UC one

Wow, it's unrecognizable compared to 10 years ago. Here, from Creditview and the 401 (Sorry, youll have to zoom) 2nd to the left

I took these yesterday as I was in the area to do some environmental clean up. It makes me happy to see this site redeveloped. I'm just awaiting the day Erin Mills mall gets intensified...the gating off of their lawns is inane and makes it that much harder to walk to the mall.

I'm wary about Madison ever since they built Madison Centre. It's not terrible, but definitely couldve been better. I'm skeptical about this proposal...it could quickly turn into a Nobu situation. Or be grey instead of red because of VE work.

Today

I visited the area yesterday, possibly my first time in the area...or atleast the first in 9 or more years. I'm glad to see this area is densifying, frankly I never really knew there'd be this much development in this area, but it makes sense. This last image was taken by the Walmart north of here.

Yesterday. The podium is quite interesting on this project, though my cell phone died before I was able to photograph it to a greater degree.

From yesterday. I'm rather impressed with the quality of this development, even if the podium seems a bit heavy and reductive, especially beside Untitled.

The first two images are from Saturday night, and the rest from yesterday

Yesterday. It's such a pleasure to see this graceful, sleek design in the neighbourhood. If only it wasnt so walled in by other projects, the grey lustre of spandrel cladding demands our attention. SL

Also from Hamilton, Victoria Park specifically I'm pretty sure my camera was underexposing things due to a WB setting I put on it, but I cannot remember...it was a very long day.

I hope they someday bury those hydro lines and add some trees to cover up that podium. Having the worst of both worlds (an unimaginative podium + ugly electrical infrastructure) is not ideal for what will one day be a "main street" of this area, even though I don't necessarily see that happening.

I should've clarified my post. I meant for a connection west to convention centre, then to cross Front to this new tower. Although I see the reasons above for why this connection hasn't been pursued yet.
