everytime I look at the photos of Aura on this website, I think it looks pretty nice but I cannot get over the fact that you've got all those lovely strip clubs down the street not to mention all the flipping dollar stores as someone mentioned. for sure it will have no "community feel" much...

anyone have any news on the cladding? I heard they are having problems meeting the building codes? Can anyone confirm this?

just went to the sales event on Saturday. lovely hors d'ouerves. prices were as expected. kitchen finishings were very poor I'd say (did anyone see the skinny flimsy kitchen facet?). location is great.

just went to the sales event today. prices were what one would expect. the design is beautiful in my opinion but the problem is that this condo is not in a community unless you consider the Ryerson/Eaton's Centre crowd viable neighbours.

just my opinion but this condo is starting to look less like the deathstar and more like the millenium falcon with that overhang. certainly not an elegant condo. just a beast.

For me, I believe L Tower would not be right at all with the Aura's cold and imposing cladding or the Ritz's elegant light green tinge or the Four Season's understated sophisticated grey/blue. The only other colour scheme that I can think of that would have been acceptable for L Tower is white...

on foggy days and rainy days, the blue colour will make this tower stand out quite nicely.

It feels like they are building the Death Star here. A mangled mess of concrete and glass that Vader envisioned. perhaps it will be fine in the end. Bigger is probably better for this location since it's almost near Eaton's Centre but man this beast is like a King Kong's foot just planted...

there are probably a handful of buildings in the city that just look cool - like Casa (wow) and One King. And if Four Seasons wasn't going for the "man that's a cool building" vibe, then that's perfectly fine. Perhaps my expectations were so high and I basically see something that looks like...

the building will be blue. If everything was the same, would that better? would love to know how much the cladding on L Tower costs compared to Four Seasons or Aura. If it was more expensive would that make everyone feel better?

I don't remember where I heard it either but in this 24 hour news cycle, I'm not surprised that I still think Obama is a muslim or Mitt Romney's Morman faith is just some sort of voodoo

I was walking around cityplace the other night and here's the most generalized assessment I can make right now. It's kind of nice at night with all the buildings lighting up the sky but really it really boils down to being a playground for the young singles crowd looking for a good time. And...

they are both the biggest beasts in this city. Aura has, to me, become a novelty. It's a race or competition to get those extra couple floors for bragging rights. But it won't be a "community" or a really fun place to live in my opinion. With all the retail, I imagine it will be like...

I can't argue the point about the superior materials/mechanical guts since I have no idea but I have to respectfully disagree with this observation: "the building doesn't beg for attention." The one bit of publicity regarding this building which sticks with me had to do with the fact that the...

I just don't understand the love for this building. I personally think it is rather boring although I haven't been up close to it. will the fountain be an area where the public can congregate? It doesn't seem like an area where a lot of people would naturally migrate towards after a day of...

Since I hear a lot about L Tower being an "iconic building" I wonder if this label will really hold up. My guess it we won't know for years to come but one measure (and not saying it's the best) of an iconic building would be if you were being picked up at Pearson in a cab and told the driver...

Perhaps my imagination is just a little bit more active than others but based on the cladding we briefly saw before it was taken down (and apparently will rise again), I can pretty much imagine what L will look like when it's all done. for those people who do not discuss condos to this length...

amazing. is this a first? has any building ever had so many significant changes over it's lifetime? first the boot then the cladding. anyone have any suggestions to them as to what they would like the cladding to be?

could it be that they are going to change the cladding?

I walked past L Tower today and noticed that they removed all the cladding on the north side and I think most of the cladding on the east. anyone know why?
