i agree. HPA should be a pride for Toronto. even their shittiest buildings look nice(design). it's the developers that mess up. i've noticed alot of people are talking crap about them.
We can already see how much this is giving back to the city by the excellent tower but importantly that expanded sidewalk space which creates such nice breathing space here.
Ugh, the southeast corner sidewalk of that intersection has been tight for a long time, so I look forward to the hoarding coming down and giving pedestrians some breathing room as they wait for the light. I wonder if they’ll be able to push the hoarding back as the tower work continues.
