Toronto James Cooper Mansion | ?m | 32s | Tridel | Burka

I like the west view, that Roger's building is a monster. When X2 goes up, the two X buildings should frame that spire very nicely.

This one is rising nicely now. Thanks for the pics.

This is my favourite project downtown next to Burano. I love it when a developer encorperates a piece of history into their design. Sometimes it's just a facade, but it's always worth it.

and in this case ... Tridel actually maintained majority of the original mansion and will be re-utilizing it as the condo's amenities (with renovation of course), rather than keeping only the facade ~

Yes. It's great that they did this. Facades aren't nearly good enough!

Basically, Tridel is building a mcmansion here.

Love that super dark finish. It, along with X, definitely contrast nicely with the overriding beige and white of the surrounding high-rises.

Interesting colour indeed - a very dark bluish grey.

Some of today's photos are a little fuzzy due to the smoggy conditions

Nice tower, but it doesn't compliment the "mansion" in any way

I'm thinking that the bricks shown in the 6th photo will go up on the part of the 3-storey base to match the Mansion.
