Now, that's quite a change. Very cool juxtaposition.
And those old sodium lamps on the Gardiner! I loved those.

Is that a big blank concrete wall facing Fort York Boulevard?

Ever notice how when the renderings first come out, there is not even a hint of grey? Then when the actual building is finished, it's mainly grey. If the buyers love grey so much, why do the developers hide it from the renderings? I would think that if the buyers are demanding more grey, the developers would gladly splash grey over all their renderings. Something here just doesn't add up? lol
Why do renderings have to be so deceptive?

Where the stairs are located for the ground floor retail? Then, yes it's a concrete wall. Some brick would have been nice.

Why? I thought you liked red brick?

When you compare the whiteish top portion in the rendering, to the drab, dark grey top they actually built, I can't believe anyone would prefer the grey. It just looks so gloomy and unattractive. Why would the developers choose that dark grey over white or any other attractive colour? Seriously, this just boggles my mind. Do Torontonians really love that dark, gloomy, grey spandrel so much or is it just the developers who do?
I have no doubt, that in 20 years time, people will be wondering, what the hell were those people thinking? (or smoking)

The grey does look great to some (including me), actually. It's a matter of opinion. Look at the photo by AlbertC just above your comment. It looks significantly better and more modern to me than the rendering you quoted.

I like me some grey, but I do think this one turned out quite monotonous (minus the brick).
I think once people have moved in and blinds and curtains are installed it will look quite different, though.

I rather like this one. The biggest issue I have is that the brick wasn't carried down to the ground level.
