Handsome.

Could be, looking forward to updates on it. I do like the look of the podium at this point.

Sorry for the size of the pictures, it looked good on MtlUrb. I don't know why it's larger when I quote it here...

They love that image of the chick on the rollerblades. She is practically in every picture, including on the boardwalk?!

Where is this? Looks to be 40 something floors...

101 Spadina Avenue. https://www.google.com/maps/place/101+Sp...1!8m2!3d43.6464648!4d-79.3949909!6m1!1e1

One of the nicest public features about this project is that it will help extend a true river-side walkway along the New West river front.

Hopefully they will release some more detailed renderings in the near future to give a better idea of what will be built.

C'mon. The quayside of the tracks is as generic high rise/ townhome suburbia as they get.

or 875 Queen East

which is also a pile of rubble

Hmm, I had seen the site of 1001, I just didn't think the sales center would be there because of the great amount of signage all over it.

I for sure confused the sites, but with that I don't believe the sales center was very obvious at all from street level.

Huge images for a huge development. I like it.

She's also front and center on post 7647 in front of the Gusto 101 in Toronto...she really gets around on those rollerblades...

Excellent.
Those architects definitely need to renew their databases of photoshop cutout people...

WhipperSnapper · #**7691** Posted **Mar 24, 2017, 1:33 PM**

Are we seriously bitching about render people being used more than once?!?

The anger is clearly evidenced by liberal use of laughing emojis.

WhipperSnapper · #**7693** Posted **Mar 24, 2017, 2:33 PM**

^^LOL Typical SSP. Not much a counter argument so what was the point of that? You think I didn't see the emojis? Best to stop interpreting a poster's emotional state by their posts. Continue patting yourself on the back, esquire. Worry at times about you.

TorontoDrew · #**7694** Posted **Mar 24, 2017, 2:40 PM**

LOL, just had to see what all the fuss is about. I love that they used that rollerskating girl so much. Pretty armature stock assets used and the most obvious one to notice repeated. She must be good to roller-blade on a boardwalk.

Euh. Did I offend you by finding these posters' comments funny?

You do see the irony, one trusts.

I think this has been shown before but i'm just trying to get this thread back on topic.

Hines has awarded Danish firm 3XN as the design architect of their latest waterfront residential project at Bayside Toronto.

Perfect scale and love the terraces the upper units have. Sorry the images are so big.

Wow awesome! Reminiscent of Bjark Ingels.

Urban recluse · #**7699** Posted **Mar 24, 2017, 4:16 PM**

I like.

As a great comedian myself, I found it stupid but, I wasn't offended by some lighthearted oneupmanship over the overuse of a Skalgubbar. Don't use my wording as an insight into my emotional state. I did choose them very carefully.
