Par for the course with G+C. As someone mentioned earlier, even the bad Architecture grads need to go somewhere I guess...

I wish some firm (ie: HP, Aa or whomever) would just acquire G+C and put them out of their misery. We'd have one less trash architectural firm spewing their nonsense all across the city. They could keep the architects who actually have some ambition but are constrained by the rest of the G+C non-visionaries.

Why would they? They print money and provide an efficient service for their clients. They've got no incentive to sell.

Anyone have any recent site photos?

Last time I've passed by was around the beginning of January. From what I recall, there wasn't any further demolition or preparation work visible on site.

This is one building that should be never touched, but if it's ever touched the only firm who should have the rights to do so is Allied.
The rest of the facendectomy corporation of Toronto aka Facendectomy Inc. (ie: all other Toronto developers) should keep their grimy hands off.

Well this looks like a bit of an improvement at least. Full height vision glass, limestone detailing, and all the spandrel is shadow boxed (though there is still a lot).

If there is one firm that couldn't do detail in a pleasing manner, it is this one.

if they follow the specs, which i'm doubtful, it might turn out okay. Still very concerned about how spandrelicious the mechanical penthouse is looking like.
