Too bad Simcoe Place was never built to its originally planned height.
I would have preferred the RBC tower here to be a taller version of the first Simcoe Place tower - that was the original plan. So far the exterior renders make this tower look like it will be one boring glass lump on the skyline. At least the first Simcoe Place tower has a unique silhouette and attractive proportions.
I will take you up on that bet (it by far looks to be the worst).
It's on
Having now spent time looking at the sites for Telus, BA, and RBC, I think BA will be the most bland and basic of all three. The design of both Telus and RBC are very subtle but quite good. I think RBC has the potential to be a true sleeper hit while BA will be somewhat of a dud. Telus will wow, but will be quickly overwhelmed by its changing surroundings. We'll quickly wonder how we ever got on without it. You heard it here first (well, I'm sure some else has said it, but I'm going to take credit anyway).
It would be interesting to compare plans - I'd love to see a rendering or any detailed plans if any forumers have them floating around somewhere out there.
