Agree on the size/power part, but I don't see the beauty that so many see here? Isnt the weathering you speak of give you hope for Uptown's future??
^ I'm no fan of the project, but you are making a lot of assumptions on income vs expenses in terms of profitability in this vs other projects. Without knowing any details about construction, land, soft costs etc how can you make such an assumption? I've also never understood the 'greed' term - given how much average $psf in the bloor-yorkville sub-market has increased the last 4 or 5 years the buyers that purchased earlier during the pre-sale process will likely make a much high ROI then the developers could hope to achieve should those buyers flip the units on closing - I suppose all the buyers could be described as greedy then as well...

Agreed, too bad it wasn't more ornate,(Like American Radiator) but with a little lighting and age, she will be fine and certainly not the eyesore that some claim. It's far prettier than the Manulife behemoth, sitting next door.
I feel its been fairly faithful to the renderings and the models, and you knew from day 1 it wasn't going to be Rockefeller Center. Just the psf bracket, meant it wasn't going to be in the league of FS/SL/Trump etc.... The model looks almost exact, and it's the color thats most off from the render. Heres hoping it ages well.
your endless, deranged, spittle riddled, defence of this complete dog of a building makes it very obvious to everyone that you don't care a whit about architecture, so your opinions about Manulife are totally irrelevant.
