That's what I love about Toronto. It's urbanity is authentic. In Ottawa & Kingston our urbanity is dressed up and prettied to a point where it feels somewhat fake. It's still great, but the contrived feel is there. Toronto has so much real, gritty urbanity... places like Yonge, Queen West, etc.

So far during testing, only this one colour. The rendering had multi-colours, so I'll assume we may still yet be in for a nice surprise once this thing has finished.

Looks cool. This tower has a nice silhouette, looks better at sunset and at night.

So... how is it possible that Aura can have its stunning light feature ready to go before it's even finished construction, yet Trump has been complete for years and has only tested its light feature a handful of times?
