careful, #3 was done by a forumer with some great talents when it comes to renderings. I think he just did a quick design based off some confusing blueprints.

I believe the original building had some blue brick between the windows, are they keeping that or doing something different?

No, it was its neighbour to the south which had the blue brick, and that's *not* coming back...

I liked the blue brick building. Would have liked that they keep both. Bay Street would have kept the old look.

I really liked the blue brick building, too.

The 'rendering' of version 3 is actually a drawing by Anthony Sun (as the caption suggests) from the submitted elevations, for the SSP drawing section. Since artists have to scale their work down quite small, this is fairly typical in appearance. Tony has contributed lots of other terrific drawings to SSP.

Would that have made it Toronto's first 'double facadism building'.

Naw. Remember, f'rinstance, that BCE saved a whole slew of facades...

Once B-A, Trump, RBC and Ritz are all complete, this is going to be one hell of a view. Can't wait.

Don't forget Telus, 18 York, Festival and Shangri-La!

I believe that is Telus rising to the right of RBC and Simcoe Place.---or is it Success Tower 1?

From that angle Telus and Success1 line up perfectly. But i'd have to think that would be Success1, Telus isn't tall enough yet to be visible.

Heck, could you even add Maple Leaf Square to that list? The transformation of the skyline is truly phenomenal. Gettin denser by the day it seems.
