So happy to see this part of Bay St. finally filling in. It's great.

Likewise, If one drives down Bay St. They will see architecture from everyone period dating back to the mid 19th century.

What is the oldest standing building along Bay St? Old City Hall? Holy Trinity Church?

Hopefully it remains that way, and we don't just wind up doing hacky glass re-clads a la The Britt on everything built pre-2005.

Holy Trinity was completed 1847, more than fifty years before Old City Hall. You can actually see Holy Trinity in the famous Armstrong, Beere & Hime panorama from 1856.

Looks great, definitely a good addition to Bay street. Nice to see something with so much personality.

I'll bite: the main tower looks great, but I'm not sure the shorter tower to the south fits well here. It would have looked better if its balconies were jumbled as well.

Oh man, yeah. That's a great shot. It reminds me of Exhibit.

 

[stjames2queenwest]

Agreed it does have a similar vibe. I do like exhibit quite a bit but I must say I prefer this.

 

[Ryan_T]

Really loving this.

And the fact that it's almost like it has siblings across the city in Pier27 and Exhibit.

Agreed. But let's just appreciate these three kids and let the family tree die with these off-kilter, white balconies towers. We don't need anymore as grandkids.
