Meh. I find other than height there's nothing really special about these towers. Plus the maple leaf motif looks unflattering from a distance.

I don't think anyone is saying they're anything special, but the towers themselves are hardly the disaster that some were claiming they would be.

They do help to anchor the western skyline as viewed from the harbour/islands though. It would be nice if the top levels were illuminated at night.

Agreed

I should go back a quote some of my posts from a few years ago when I was the only one saying "maybe these won't be so bad despite the fact it's Concord"

That's the point really - there aren't so bad nasty as they are a massive under - achievement for such a "signature" location, aesthetically speaking at least.

...and that city sized podium. It almost needs to be claimed as it's own municipality. /sigh

West tower mechanical penthouse taking shape. Building maintenance unit has been installed.

Maybe, but I was still one of the few saying "despite the fact it's Concord, maybe they won't be so bad and nasty" as you say.

Taken from the bus on the Gardiner on Wednesday. Apologies for the reflections in some of the pictures.

Great pix! I wonder if something like Summerhill Market would work here? Btw they are now actively leasing the 8 retail units here and Concord is moving their corporate office here.

So I don't love it but I don't actually hate it It doesn't look half bad The podium makes it worse because it's just so massive but all in all it actually didn't turn out that bad

This is an insane amount of density about to occupy and begin to impact local retail and services.

Just think about how many residents here may use Bikeshare daily on an already over-strained part of the system!
