Toronto Panda Condominiums | 107.59m | 30s | Lifetime | Turner Fleischer

Seriously. It really drags down the whole thing down just before the finish line!

I don't believe I have the architectural docs for this one saved anywhere, so I'll give Lifetime the benefit of the doubt as to whether pushing the window wall out on the top two floors was really necessary. Couldn't they have at least inset the window wall by 20 or 30 centimetres and brought the balcony railings up another two floors in order to try and continue some of the clean lines?

Not to diss your efforts by any means (and thanks for that), but my issue with it even with that it still looks like band aid solution where surgery is required. My mind still keeps saying there should be balconies there as opposed to window walls! >.<

^ Looks like some work being done on the building at the corner of Yonge & Elm, where Pizza Pizza used to be.

That white, grid-based portion is by far the star of this building.

The rest is by no means bad; but that side is next-level.

Very that. I look at her every day :

Can we get a building with this design on all sides next time?

Noticed this on the weekend:

That storefront looks fairly small, so it's possibly another Aloette location set up for mainly takeout operations like the one in Liberty Village and coming up at the Whitehaus Condos in Midtown.

Aloette is opening a midtown location in 2022 - NOW Toronto

French diner Aloette is launching a takeout counter at Yonge and Eglinton sometime in the new year

This building is giving the street a new life. It has been a decrepid, back-end street for as long as i remember but at least this podium fills the gap between yonge and bay nicely and will activate it some more in the future.

One of the rare before-vs-after pics in Toronto where there is an improvement in the streetscape.

I find the massing pretty well broken up too which adds to the streetscape. It looks like two different buildings side by side when looking west.

From Elm Street (definitely no nightmare here)

I may have a slight obsession with its white grid side…
