Awesome! Looks like they've begun phase 2 of the Connaught project.

Deag lord, that Hamilton homewood suite is a real nightmare. I don't even want to contemplate how badly it will age. The Connaught looks much better though.

^It's a peculiar piece of architecture, there's no doubt about it.

It looks like a modern version of the Sandman Hotel in Longueuil

Like the Toronto Pearson Express I think it was an effort to look dated and old from the start so people think it's been around longer.

You think it's that bad? I don't know, looks like an OK filler building to me. It could be a lot worse than that.

The cladding is not stucco and it's some kind of faux-granite type. When you are up close to it's actually polished. So I say it'll age pretty good, it looks like limestone material.

I love this view. It's the view that best showcases the new developments in downtown. In fact, when the second Deloitte tower goes up, it will block out PVM from this view.
