Icon wasn't a height increase. The additional ten metres was to account for the previously unknown mechanical.

Plese make the changes

One word looks better too.

215 Meters or so I guess, eh? That's what it's listed as in the database....

Mother of G-d!!

This could possibly be the best Yorkville design since Stern's One Saint Thomas.

I'm not sure how the collapse of US financial institutions during the sub prime mortgage crisis is the fault of Bazis. That's like laying blame on you for not being able to buy a new car because your employer went bankrupt. Bazis is a breath of fresh air and Toronto is fortunate to have them in our city.

Agree, but we'll end up with more of these ridiculous compromise design choices in the downtown. Toronto always tries to appease opposing interest groups at the same time with the result being that neither is served well.

a bit more on the Daniels / Queens Quay project

4 buildings with two residential towers, student residence and office/performance space building

Now that looks nice. I hope it gets built and then Ottawa gets something in that hight level to get those three 1.2's together like the 700k's.

tallest in the west, and 2nd in the country - so says the journal.
