I wish they opted to paint the balcony ceilings black. It would better accentuate the red curve. This way accentuates the boxyness of the building. I guess it’s a design choice, but not the one I would have made.

Though I agree that, from the street, black balcony ceilings would probably look better, however, not sure it would look as good from inside the Unit - maybe too dark.

Yes good point. Since I will only ever see it from the street, I’m speaking selfishly from an aesthetic perspective. I can think of one that has red coloured balcony ceilings at Dundas and Jarvis, but not any painted black off the top of my head.

At least they’re painting it. Some developers don’t even bother and will probably market the project as ‘industrial chic’.

Love this project, wish it were taller to make it more prominent!

I assume you know it is not finished? :->

At 40 stories, it’s 10+ more than anything close to it. It will stand out.

Yes, I know it has a ways to go and realize it will stand out as designed, just wish it would stand out even more

Hoping the contrast between this and Time & Space across the street will shame Pemberton into building better-looking towers (but knowing it won’t happen …)
