Toronto does the podium and multiple tower projects very well.

Thank god they're not all glass. Finally this area is getting some texture, colour, architectural creativity. If this was another all glass tower I would have puked. Now it comes down to execution and quality materials.

Where are you seeing material that isn't glass?

They released images that show they aren't all glass. Are you saying the white bits are fritted glass?

I just assumed that the white bits were fritted glass (like at Festival Tower). I guess they could be some other material, but to be honest, I'd be shocked. Regardless, white fritted glass is still better than more blue or green glass.

It never occurred to me that it would be white fritted glass, but agree with you that even that would be a big improvement over the blue/green glass that every other building in the area seems to have.

Either way I'm relieved.

Definitely a relief from all the blue/green glass in the area. I still wish the circular "candy cane" tower, which was originally proposed, was part of the plan instead of the twins.

I was down in southcore yesterday, and I totally forgot to take a picture of the construction progress on these bad boys, and no way in hell, I'm going out in the rain and wind today.. .blah, blah, blah.

One York Street and Harbour Plaza East and West.

Pictures by me.

Excavation moving much faster than I thought it would. - Maybe 2 years to get the podium done, by then sales pretty close to complete or good enough for full financing, barring economic collapse.

Yes, that was the surprise. They are moving really, really fast.

This ain't no U Condos, that's for sure.

Innsertnamehere · #**174** Posted **Jul 3, 2013, 12:49 AM**

I heard that the first release of units for the condos has sold extremely well for this.. (I.E. 95% sold for the first unit release)

G. s mtl does most of the Montreal drawings... please ask him. I offered to help out with Montreal drawings but I never received a response.

franktko · #**178** Posted **Jul 4, 2013, 1:10 AM**

For some reason that pic looks like it's missing some sort of urban river like in Chicago. Can't explain exactly why.
