10 York will not be the total disaster, I feared a month or so ago.

Thanks, caltrane. Nowhere near as elegant as Ice, but few buildings in Toronto are.

I would enjoy the harbourfront area buildings a lot more if they didn't all seem to be twins. Twins are something that should be reserved for very rare and exceptional circumstances and not acceptable for ordinary buildings - even very nice ones.

I actually hate it because of the rounded corners - I think it will age quickly as a result.

Love this tower. Clean simple and Elegant. The rounded corners are what make this tower.

I like it because of the round corners. It will age just fine.

The rounded corners will quickly make it look dated? Come again...? Oh well, in my opinion, she'll stand the test of time just fine.

I'm not a fan of that for some reason. It just looks old already as far as I'm concerned.

I'm not a huge fan of the rounded corners as well. I don't feel they date the building. The crown is not doing it for me either. It's too abrupt a change and doesn't add any height which this design could use.
