I will take at least 10 more projects like Brighton Block throughout the city (I can think of a few heritage buildings that would work great), please and thank you!

The Brighton Block turned out just beautiful. Congrats Ken.

The staircase pic is now my screen saver.

My bad. When I walk by yesterday evening the boom was horizontal. Easily fooled.

Isn't it supposed to be almost the same height as the Pearl?

Coldrsx · #**14915** Posted **Apr 7, 2020, 1:14 AM**

Nearly... but it's setback from the pearl/ie. height/impact was being estimated.

33 storeys
342 units
106m

The pearl is 119m

It's too bad they took a busy but pretty sleek design and Homer Simpson car'd it.

I wouldn't say they went as far as a 'Homer Simpson' car but they made some meh design changes. I'll wait and see what the real product looks like in 2 years time.

CanadianCentaur · #**14918** Posted **Apr 7, 2020, 1:43 PM**

Waitaminnit....did the CNIB Tower change renderings or something? Because I haven't seen it before.

Coldrsx · #**14919** Posted **Apr 7, 2020, 1:52 PM**

Had a bit of VE... mostly going from appeared to be curtain wall to a panelized system of some sort.

Yes...a bit of VE. Or a completely different window and architectural detail scheme disguised using the same colour pallet and focal accent colour.

The podium still looks wicked though on the last one. No changes seemed to happen there.
