Does anyone have any updates from Monday's open house? Any design changes?

The base is a copy of Couture, the tower looks like Casa or Karma and the crown copies Limelight. Not much original design thought in these towers is there???? Copy, cut, and past together. People complained about By The Sea but at least they were more original than this. Are architects with an...

I find that my eyes are primarily drawn to the architectural details of the building, and the glass work at the top secondary. IMO they missed the mark only in that they should have replicated the first floor cornice detail around the top of the glass of the addition. It would have made the...

Yes....the construction trailers are gone. I wonder why??

They could have just caled it Y&R and used a soap opera cliff hanger approach for the marketing and the reveal.

I believe that building would be The Icon. It made me have to think for a minute too!

I find the central part of the tower reminds me of the old Four Seasons hotel, while the overall apperance feels like Robarts. The building looks like it belongs on U of T's campus, not as a hotel complex on the Ex's grounds. The earlier renderings had a much fresher approach. Can the architect...

The angular residential and office towers on the right IMO resemble the Diagonal Tower by SOM in Seoul So. Korea. That tower is 62 storeys and 343 meters high. Looks like the buildings in this image have the same floor count. One can only hope that they build these towers close to a similar...

Has anyone noticed that these buildings aren't in the correct location in this image. They right side of the three towers should just be in front of the shorter left tower at Metro Hall. They should be blocking the view of Dexia and The Ritz.

"We have more news and more renderings on the front page now!" I tried the link and it says access denied. How can I view the rendering?

Black Netting Thanks Tuscani01 for the information. Much appreciated!

Did I miss something? Did Concord have a problem with the balcony glass on Parade 1 or is this being done as some precautionary measure for the lift of the bridge? I agree with the colour making a difference. The contrast is what these towers could really use.

I seriously believe that Toronto needs a good shot of foreign architect design. Check out Pentominium in Seoul. Similar in shape to these towers but more imaginative. Aa with a twist. Toronto's skyline is already peppered with twin tower projects that are similar in style, cladding, shape and...

It has been rumoured that the Metro Convention Centre might be sold and then redeveloped. Since MGM is interested in having a convention centre as part of their development, perhaps this would be an ideal location. Downtown in the entertainment district (future home tomost of the new housing...

My fear is that the light colour of the building will just make that stretch of Yonge cold & boring. Looking on Yonge from north to south, the two towers at the Eatons Centre both have white banding. Massey towers simply mirrors more of this from across the street. This building should have more...

I am wondering if the ladder and the crow's nest are connected and will pivot to assist in the final cladding of the onion dome. We were told earlier on that the metal cladding there now was to be covered in the future with the same grey material the mechanical box was being clad in. Just my...

I really hope this is just a proposal view and subject to change. I like the office component, however the condo towers leave me flat. The kidney shaped tower with the candy striped balconies looks like a cheap version of Absolute World. Balcony designs to accentuate the shape without the twist...

I thought I liked this design too until I was looking at "357 King St West (former M5V sales centre, Great Gulf, 40s, Quadrangle) posting #40" and saw that part of that building has the exact same exterior treatment as this one. Not too original, and another copy cat design. Why can't these...

Perhaps they'll convert the cage into Toronto's version of the Time Square Ball just in time for New Year's Eve.

I would love to see a 50 metre spire on top of this tower. I think it could use something distinct on top. Depending on the height as well it may bring this tower over 300 metres.
