With Delta and Telus House as "bookends" to this strip, the low-key middle buildings actually make a little more sense to me now. Very pleasantly surprised with this so far.

The Delta is looking fantastic from the Gardiner. With it being open and airy at this location, its really going to stand out and perhaps trump the other newly built hotels.

Does that mean no? That map doesn't show the area as far west as the aquarium.

It shows the PATH connecting with the Skywalk connecting the Delta to the convention centre

Here's the map

If the glazing continues with this quality to the top, the crown is going to be spectacular. Can't believe Delta Chelsea will be the predecessor to this...

Excellence in construction photography! Great stuff.

Great shot. The intersection looking west from Church and Front might be the best vista in the city. Great mix of styles and eras: Flatiron Building, Second Empire storefronts on the south side of Front Street, the modernist HUMMINGBIRD Centre, the Beaux Arts Dominion Public building, postmodern Brookfield Place, the uniquely shaped L-Tower, the CN Tower, and now the mirroresque office buildings of Southcore completing the picture peeking over the shoulders of Union Station/Dominion Public. You'd be hard-pressed to find that kind of diversity anywhere in North America. As good as it gets I think.

You forgot to mention the er um interesting brutalist St. Lawrence Centre. If that was intentional, that's ok.
Really.
Other than that, I totally agree with your observation. Quite a fascinating eclectic mix from that viewpoint.

The name of the place didn't come to mind and I didn't feel like looking it up - I actually like my brutalism. In small doses.

Could probably do without the office park aesthetics of 33 Yonge St though. And to think this uninspired pile replaced the Board of Trade building. *sigh
