Just a really bad Photoshop job (eg. follow the sloppy line up the left edge of the tower). Guess they didn't bookmark a good AI engine.

If AI was used, just the tower itself was generated. The skyline is from an old render

Also makes you wonder why if this render already exists, why edit or ai generate a new tower design

On Instagram, AI slop is unavoidable.

Yes, I am a hypocrite as I also occasionally do AI slop, but I am honest about it by stating that if I were to use AI image generation, I explicitly state such.

 

[Strange Advance]

Ugh, AI! But I doubt AI would produce a low-res render that looks like it's from 2003.

...crown on Phase 3 is almost 30 stories tall there.

I got this advertisement on Instagram, did the design of the top change?

View attachment 727109

thats Not even any of the previous designs proposals, let alone the design of the tower that’s already built. The entire thing is completely different from the building standing today. No actual plans have changed.

Is there any word on when the new street on the south side will open or when the whole Yonge/Harbour Street intersection will be rebuilt?

Is there any word on when the new street on the south side will open or when the whole Yonge/Harbour Street intersection will be rebuilt?

I would have thought the extension of Harbour Street between Yonge and Freeland and/or Cooper Street (it will all be called Downes St east of Yonge) will only be worked on and opened when all the external construction is finished. In 2023 Council agreed to installing traffic lights at both Downes/Freeland and Downes/Cooper. https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2022/te/bgrd/backgroundfile-226392.pdf

This, from 2022, notes who Downes was...

Honouring the Downes Family with a new street in the Lower Yonge Precinct​

It was my pleasure on Tuesday to host a street-naming ceremony recognizing the history and contribution of the Downes family to Toronto, alongside representatives from Menkes, the Ontario Black History Society, Dr. Sheldon Taylor, and many community members.
Our special guest in attendance at the ceremony, Arthur Downes, was born in Toronto in 1927 and is a retired Justice of the Peace with a vast history of being heavily involved with community development and sustainability. Mr. Downes is the recipient of numerous awards including the 2020 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Black History Society.
Toronto is one of the most diverse cities in the world but our commemorations do not fully reflect Toronto’s rich histories, culture, and diversity. It is important and necessary to keep working to ensure that our urban landscape reflects the diversity of residents and a more authentic account of Toronto’s history – especially the contributions of Indigenous Peoples, Black communities, and equity-deserving groups.

This thing stands out like a punctuation mark on the east downtown skyline. Hard to believe that puny tower next to it is 65 storeys and over 200 m tall!
