Can't say I'm a fan - a bit on the tacky side.

O-tacular · #**6543** Posted **Jul 10, 2015, 4:37 PM**

I think it's cool.

Weird how the middle ring is officialy black but sometimes appear as purple. On this picture, the ring itself is black but the lighting is purple.

A bit tacky but cool as well in a Clifton Hill kind of way. What is the building now Student Res?

No, office space. I believe this was Air Canada's old HQ before they moved to the airport.

One of the less common vantages, posted by Deeworks on Mtlurb. Starting to get pretty crowded out there !!

Now that's a great, under-appreciated view.

It's a perfect angle to enjoy most of the new projects. The TDC towers (170m) and the 750 Peel (180m) will look huge.
