Taken 8-27-22. The podium is not bad. If only the rest of the building was not as bad.

They made a movie about this building. It's called "Don't Look Up" (available on Netflix).

One can look up at this at certain angles and not lose whatever they just consumed. But with any daring design made to make a given building stand out from the rest, it doesn't really work when it comes to poor and/or bargain choices made with the materials. And to put it mildly. Thusly, this should look amazing at any angle where now it's clearly not...

...I like to refer this to as the "Nobu effect" as an entry for the next UT Explainer. >.<

You're slowly coming to terms with it so that you're mentally and emotionally prepared. You'll stumble upon it in real life one day.

There is only criticism in every project... A normal building, a normal project.

I still can't believe this eyesore is the backdrop to our most popular intersection in the city. You never see this in New York.

You'll barely be able to see it from Dundas Square when the tower across the street (replacing the Pizza Pizza) is completed. Give it 3-4 years (shoring has already started on that development). And if renderings are to be believed, it looks much better than Social. Hope strings eternal ...

Sep 18. Looks OK at night, when you can’t see the cladding.

Pemberton should be ashamed of themselves

Pemberton should be ashamed of themselves

They have many other projects in the 'walk of shame'. Not sure this is the worst of them

Looks like a cheap way of finishing the windows.
