I like it! The choice to break away from the collective beige and white colour scheme of the Davisville & Yonge node also garners more brownie points from me!

Nice and slender and tall! No hate!

Looks good, clean solid surfaces from the heritage continue up the tower in a complementary colour. Nice to see more proposals without all glass.

And jeez what a contrast from that first proposal...
