I like the dark balcony glass on this tower. The balconies are being treated as a design feature rather than an afterthought to satisfy purchasers. It's kind of like what some were hoping for at Parade when the dark mesh was up. The spandrel and mullions on the recessed portions are unfortunate though.

Hmm... I'd probably go with Couture.

Here is the view through a window of one of the units. Pretty awesome.

They overdid the black by painting the balcony undersides black.

I will definitely take that over all those Gray nonsense around the GTA. It sure looks better that Gray thing besides it.

Neither are particularly good.

One persistent issue with the buildings in this neighbourhood is that the podiums are sterile. They're generally a boring combination of window wall and white precast. Some curtain wall would go a long way, along with more diversity in colours and materials.

Everything G+C touches turns to crap. This is brutal; the heaviness and lack of articulation in the black balconies with black balcony slabs; the sterile podium with no diversity of materials.

Blech.
