From Osgoode Hall.

Wow, this project has pretty much bored me...up until now. Looking at the above view from Osgoode a glass building is going to really look stunning here. I'm excited.

^ good observation. It'll bring much needed glass to the view from NPS too which is currently a sea of precast and concrete.

Awesome new webcam view of BA1. Hopefully they keep it for a while so we can see the crane installation at Trump.

* for some reason I cannot upload the picture -- trial and error as a new member I guess. Either way, go check it out for yourselves: http://www.bayadelaidecentre.com/webcam/index.ch2

Wow. Welcome back greenery! When did the leaves arrive?

Zoomed in views from yesterday and today from Bloor/Dufferin area.

With all the talk about the glass, I thought I'd take a good look at this thing. True to the discussion, this glass has to been seen in person to be appreciated. It's really, really nice and the photos (save the one about four posts back) don't really do it justice.

^bingo... it has at least 3 different suits of clothes, depending on the angle.... including some "transparency" of all things.

word, thanks! hopefully Trump hurries up, or that webcam is gonna leave it in the dust as it follows B-A to the top.

great pics Casaguy! even though this isnt my fave angle of the city as I find everything looks shorter from your angle. wish you had got the second shot with the sunlight conditions of the first one...

Hope these are something different, not more of the same

It may be a box, but as much as it reminds me of 7 WTC... well... it has a historic facade at the bottom. So,... erm... take THAT, WTC 7 !!!

looks good with that little parkette in the foreground, now that its turning green once again.

As Rev. Wright would say: "This Tower is God Damn Beautiful"

Some of my shenanigans over at skyscraperpage....


Love these office towers so much, I wrote a poem about it.

Rise Office Towers, Rise!!

shiney glass - office towers
so tall and so bright
made real
through financial might
whether made from
banking, consulting or oil
Their insides should never
see an honest day's toil
swiftrade, futures and hedge
or funky 4th floor,
well designed and
notched edge
from dirt to concrete
steel and glass
you're getting built tall
and built to last.
