I was vehemently oppsed to replacing those quaint townhouses which seemed to be such a symbol of Yorkville. But seeing how well the Hazelton is turning out, I'll admit, this is much better!
This thing came just in time for the TIFF...
and Sassfraz is down so. Nice payoff from the getgo!
Has this wrap around patio been completed? Any pictures?
I do not mind the busy-ness of the building and I like the use of materials (which actually look better in real life than the photos). What I am unsure about it, are all those pillars out front. I am not a huge fan of retail behind pillars and I am not sure whether this building suffers from it. I remember seeing that much of the retail was almost flush with the very pronounced pillars but it is hard to tell from these photos.
I will pass ultimate judgment (and I am sure the developers and architects can't wait) when its is clear how the building integrates with the street.
