We really don't need that many photos of this absolute pile.

I understand some people not liking the location but the feel around the base of the building should be pretty good. I personally like all the different colours of these and other buildings in the area.

If architecture had an equivalent of the Razzies...

It's not beautiful, but it fits in perfectly with it's surroundings.

I'd like to argue the second phrase. The first of your photos shows the 70s building with the staggered balconies to the northeast. Oh if only the Pemberton development here had taken its cue from the more forward looking architecture displayed there. Port Royal instead is a throwback to mismatched historical references that should never be cobbled into one building, let alone a whole complex. Pemberton has really picked up their game at U Condos, and are employing better architectural firms on some of their forthcoming central city projects, but all that can be said for Port Royal is that this is it, the scab can't get any bigger.

Port Royal Place is part of Marco Muzzo's legacy. Marc seems to have more interest in architecture.

The whole thing is a disaster. It's hardly better than the dilapidated old dump of a high school that occupied the site previously. You know, for one of Toronto's 5 city centres, this part of Etobicoke really deserves better than all the garbage that keeps getting dumped on it.

This is what lower income areas get, for being lower income areas.

?

Some of the Mabelle Avenue buildings have some income challenges, but the neighbourhood as a whole is not a "lower income area".
