Toronto Wellesley on the Park | 194.15m | 60s | Lanterra | KPMB

[Lenser]

As long as the curves are done exceptionally well (along with all other aspects of execution), I'm all for more of these. Look at how many rigid, fairly predictable boxes we already have... I'd rather see a healthy mix of building typologies dotting the core.

That's fair. One Bloor was clearly the best of these but to me the trend is getting a little blase. I do agree with you that when well done it can make for a nice change.

Agreed too that that Wellesley On The Park could have had true curved glass and that would have made it more elegant... but it's still pretty good, all around.

After One Bloor, Massey Tower and this...anyone else feel like it's time to move on or do you really like this architectural theme?

And The Stanley, which is I think the one that looks the most similar.

The trend here that I think I am most over (which is common to all of the ones you listed, save for possibly Massey as it comes across a bit differently there) isn't the curves, but this specific style/colour of balcony glass -- the almost-white-but-still-slightly-blue-hued-and-mostly-opaque look.

Thanks for the info.

I've wondered what would be going in this site.

THE PERFORATED METAL CURVED WALL NEAR THE RESIDENTIAL ENTRANCE LOOKS GREAT

 

[Yegger]

Really handsome tower. I think it's going to perform great at ground level given its finishings and the adjacent new park

Any owner here still has the occupancy date around end of Feb? I don't think end of Feb is realistic based on the entrance.

Today:

The glazing on the crown seems too transparent to me, it makes it look somewhat messy.

I was hoping for ICE condo kind of treatment

With all the horrible boxes we have in this city, I can't believe people are complaining about too many curved buildings! lol I'll take a curved building over another grey, glass box, any day!

It's a pretty damn good building, but the glass is too transparent. The renders where it was more frosted looked a lot better.
