I agree Investor. At a certain point, I really don't care what the tower looks like. 10 Bellair has some of the best street level uses of any condo in the city. It should be a model to be emulated all around. The tower itself is no masterpiece, but it's as good as most of the other stuff going up. I can't think of a single condo that's gone up in Toronto in years that has any real architectural merit.
I personally think that Context's project in High Park is visually stunning from the back. I'm not an architect but it must have had a high level of design in order to achieve that true tucked into a hill appearance.
It's nothing spectacular to behold from Bloor Street though.
I also like the renderings on the X condo. I love that ode to mies van der rough. The location is definitely a challenge though. Quite honestly I prefer it to Y + B due to its proximity to the ravine and easy access to Mount Pleasant, but on the surface it has some area gentrification to overcome.
So many projects in the GTA look either like Vegas-style imitations of NY or Chicago landmarks.
