I welcome faux historicism, Toronto is lacking in some of the more interesting buildings of the early 1900’s it need some old world feel in some places around the city. I find these keep the glass towers anchored. And add something other then glass towers.

Anything less than limestone with proper detailing would be unacceptable here. Want a retro building? Fine. Use retro cladding with retro craftsmanship.

Honestly, I am so tired of glass boxes that I'm relieved to see mediocre precast Stern facsimiles anywhere in this city. Shame that this one's in Yorkville where there's quite a few of them.

This is a project run by the Impressions Group, based off their website:

My issue with faux historicism is that almost all the attempts at it in Toronto are executed poorly. There are cities all over the world that are very good at it. If this matches the quality and attention to detail seen outside Canada I have zero problem with it.

High chance the patterns here will end up looking like broken glass (a la 50 at Wellesley Station)

Not sure why a developer is using FREED's old renderings on their website. That's not the project going at this address anymore.

I understand that they are still very much affiliated with the project.
