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

"Why does the mansion have some bricked up windows?"

Looks like one of the chimney stacks rises where those windows would be.
I suppose they added the form for decorative purposes..

funny how that side of town is all residential... ^^^.

Throw in X2, Couture, 565 Sherbourne, 403 Bloor East, Bloor and Sherbourne Tower and the triple threat of the Bloor Parliament three towers and you will have a super neighbourhood of towers.
 
What if I want to forget it?

Whether or not you like the building itself (I don't) it's nice to have a major corporate office in this neighbourhood. As much as I'd love it if Rogers built a major tower in the core, I think it's better for the city to have major offices spread around midtown as well.
 
No water hook-up yet to fight it either, plus only stairs and the construction elevator for the fire dept to use..
