any word on when the video screen is actually going to be installed on the corner? They have all the wiring behind that cheap little ad they put years ago.. and never seem to have replaced it.

The sky was gorgeous tonight, I was lazy to take my camera but it's still not to bad with the phone

It's sad that this building looks best in the dark.

It's sad that this building looks best in the dark.

At least it looks good at some time of the day, there are other buildings that don't ever look good no matter the time of day.

I think this building looks really good looking south on Yonge from anywhere between College and Bloor.

Hate to zoom up on these rough patches, but I wonder if any of these imperfections will ever get fixed...

 

[Tulse]

Could there be any more mullions?

Seriously, this building looks best far away and at night.

 

[Armour]

The entire building is an imperfection.

Why is it even necessary to have that many mullions? Couldn't the number of them have been drastically reduced without impacting the functionality of the glass?

If I created something with such poor detailing in school, they would verbally assault me for it. The fact that a firm produced this is just astounding to me. Blech.

The question is not " Could there be any more mullions?", rather, Could there be any more whining and bitching and bellyaching then has gone on already about this building in this thread?

Yes, yes there could. (And well justified.)

Yep, exactly what I often think when looking at projects like this. It's bizarre someone is actually employed, with the massive responsibility of designing a multi-multi-million dollar project, and pulls this out.

The curved upper floors/ crown look good. The lights are beautiful, and it creates a lot of visual interest.
The mullions are unfortunate and the retail is laughable.

But what it does for the skyline is very impressive.
