Johnny, I looked up your Wikipedia user info. We share a lot of common interests. If my dad hadn't moved my family to Florida in 1978, we'd be best buds by now.

Which brings up the question, how does Habitat '67 handle navigating around the complex?

If I recall correctly, the original logo for the Eaton Centre featured a tree under a stylized arch. Can't find a pic of it though.

Speaking of One Bloor West, is Pinnacle taller now?

I'm thinking (hoping) the window wall will be limited to that portion of the podium

The specular reflections off these buildings at sunset are going to be amazing.

IMO it's one of the few projects that lives up to its pre-construction renders.

Thank god, I was running low on charged particles.

Wow, it looks like even the window panes have irregularities in them.

I would so use this as my desktop if it were higher-res.

Yeah, I'm torn. I think balconies detract from the overall building aesthetic, but I used my balcony all the time when I lived in Toronto. We love our balconies, what can I say?
