Hopefully they can bury the wires and get rid of those electrical towers as part of this development..![]()
Thanks for the added info, Savel! I wasn't trying to disparage you, but just suggesting that we shouldn't get *too* excited about the building nearing the end of pre-sales. But the added info you've provided definitely makes me more optimistic construction will start soon.
As for the THCH - Baird Samspon Neuert seems to be iffy in terms of the quality of their completed projects. Also, not that this discredits them or anything, but they seem to do a lot of mausoleums. I'm not sure I'd want my seniors' residence to be built by a mausoleum designer.
The problem isn't having pylons there - but the design and maintainence of pylons - where appearance takes a back seat to efficiency. Here are some examples of pylons that actually look attractive:
