is the landscaping done outside of MaRs 2 yet? haven't been by it since early june.

Great guess! I noticed yesterday as I was passing that the base is now approximately level with the street. We should see this rising noticeably soon.

It saddens me to see brickwork like this demolished. Even the building itself per se isn't anything fantastic, I think old brick buildings like this have certain character.

Agree. To add salt in the wound what's replacing it is garbage.

[DrNest]

Totally agree Koops. I like 300 Front St in person. To me it's actually better in person than most photographs portray it.

Some of the disappointment may stem from how this condo was marketed. They used a Louis Vuitton bag as the inspiration for the design so many were expecting an opulent building. When spandrel went up, many felt like it was a case of bait and switch.

I'm interested to see how this one turns out. Page+Steele designs are generally mediocre but this one looks like it might have potential. It's got an interesting massing (referenceing the Dubois building it replaced), a limestone base and a lack of spandrel in the renderings:

This is another Page+Steele design that I think may have promise. I like the curves, the dark cladding and the symetrical grid of inset balconies:
