From any distance, they look too bulky for what they are and the abrupt concrete crown is pretty nasty.
when you are down near Queens park, i actually think ROCP and Murano look amazing! ROCP doesn't look chunky from there if you ask me...
I like how Murano and ROCP have twin towers.. The shorter towers are the north tower in murano, and the south tower of ROCP.. and the taller towers are nearer to the center... i think they look sweet next to eachother.
I do think that Murano is a bit chunky from the north/south sides...
The cladding looks great on the festival mechanical box... it matches/flows well with the rest of the building
Here's another AMAZINGLY-COOl shot by tomms at UT:
***Notice how AWESOME the line of skyscrapers look along bay street and beyond!... just amazing views here!:
There's hasn't been a lot of discusion. I guess the fact that it's community housing so information is not as readily available as a marketed condo and that's there just so much going on in the city right now could explain how a 41 storey tower has been largely ignored.
Uptown is a game changer in this shot! what a difference without it!... once Four Seasons, U condos, and 1 Bloor are built, this side of town will have a much larger feel to it!

Absolute worlds looking like genetically mutated skyscrapers who survived a nuclear blast or somethin... which is why they're SO FREAKIN AWESOME!
Uptown by Casaguy:
Boy is Uptown hot right now!!! Uptown is in the leagues for epicness as Manulife is! Just so close to it, yet it will be 9 F*CKN FEET SHORTER!!!! why couldn't they have added an antenna or Yao Ming to stand on top of it!!!!!!!!!!! grrrrrr
Brilliant photos guys! cladding progress seems to have slowed a bit
I absolutely love how all these 3 skyscrapers look together! Just super insane density there! I wish more were like them cause its super New York like to have tall skyscrapers just next-door!
I BELIEVE UPTOWN's RESIDENTIAL FLOORS are topped off... all that is left is mechancial
Another AMAZING view from Festival tower by tomms at UT:
Real stunners in this pic are ROCP, Murano, Manulife, and Uptown/Crystal, and Casa! I just love how the Bay Street canyon looks, a huge downtown feel there!. Aura and 1 Bloor will fix the balancing problem with the CBD. You can just tell how much larger/taller towers like Bay Adelaide are compared to the rest of the bunch. Trump toronto's lookin great
Looks like 90% of the mechanical box on the east facing side is clad!!!
I think you're the first to capture the fully clad box caltrane! it looks stunning!
Someone at UT pointed out that the Cresford sign atop Casa has been removed and your pic confirms it
