very beautiful, but only those three little retail levels is a real shame. toronto has a very big problem with the high cost of commercial leases, which has over a generation greatly decreased the number of viable spaces for entrepreneurs downtown. as such, a giant proportion of shops that have opened over the past are chains, formula retail. it makes entire swathes of the city feel very sterile. the city needs to adopt san francisco-style formula retail controls immediately, and work on a plan to encourage developers to build even more commercial spaces. a certain prominent new building on yonge street provides a great example of a way forward.

I'd say the building looks more impressive up close than afar.

- Where it's urban. And dense.
That right there could actually be the core of a mid-size American city.

What's the intersection at the very bottom of the second photo? I've started to look for it but I really should be doing something else.

I was going after Davenport and Dufferin. So close!

Actually, you are right! I drove to Dufferin via Dupont then turned right to get to Davenport. I took the picture from a school located on the north/east side. https://www.google.ca/maps/@43.6735043,-79.4397182,466m/data=!3m1!1e3
