Toronto Concord Sky | 299m | 85s | Concord Adex | Kohn Pedersen Fox

Aura looks great imo, the slant at the top is a very good feature and it’s more unique than most buildings in Toronto, but it’s not that nice during the day time

It goes to show that the shape of the building is not everything. Aura is ruined by poor execution and cost-cutting measures - the visible ‘seams’ on the crown being the most egregious example. The lighting is its redeeming feature, but who knows whether they’ll replace it as more lights burn out.

When this is complete, it's going to block your view big time....lol.

I know! lol. I’ve had such a great view but between this, the Chelsea and the northeast corner of Yonge/Gerrard my view is gonna be toast lol

Wouldn't it be a condition of site plan approval that the lighting feature must be maintained? I am surprised the city has let it go this long!

Also, I'm staying at the Sheraton and have this view from my room, it's crazy thinking about how Concord Sky (and 8 Elm) will change this view.

Yeah I have stayed at that Sheraton only on a higher floor there's quite a few buildings that are going to be changing how this view is in the next few months that is for sure

This is going to be so cool to see. I wish I lived in Toronto. I'm already tired of what's happenin here in the States.

Okay this thing is ridiculous The taller it gets the more monstrous it looks really hoping to see cladding soonish to kind of make it less imposing

It's only the podium. She will get very narrow soon.

The urban canyon feel on this stretch of Yonge will be remarkable

They're actually not doing cladding. It's Concord's first open air building.

It is after all called Concord Sky for a reason.
