Looking better and better. The taper is more noticeable than I would have expected.

Whatever floor it's on now has a tiny floor plate. The elevator shafts should be cut in half soon for the upper floors.steel frame is so much fun to watch because of how fast they rise.

The first setback of the elevator core just happened You can actually see it in the final image that Surreal posted.

Over at UT they are saying that this one will be curtianwall glass.

Should make up for it blocking the ICE Towers from the classic skyline shot.


Ten York - 224 meters

It better be. Tridel has a lot to make up for after 300 Front.

I wish Ice Towers were in front on Lakeshore, and Ten York was back on Bremner/York. Even the curtainwall is not enough to make up for losing the circular design from the lake-view.

It's not like Toronto is flush with interesting designs that are not boxes.

So very true.Ice should still remain prominent from the western harbor. It's been a few weeks since I've spent time around Yonge and Bloor. One Bloor finally feels like a really tall tower to me. The thing is a beast.

I happy to hear that Ten York will have curtain wall but, at the same time, let's not get ahead of ourselves. It's still Tridel.

Agreed like I said before. it's a shame really with Tridel because interior wise they build solid units. Some of the best standards in the industry and one of the oldest condo builders. It's boils down to them owning the suburban market where people care less it seems about high rise architecture. It's too bad builders didn't get graded for each new building they erect where if they churn out too many crap designs they no longer get permits.

If that were the case, I think the gong show at 300 Front street alone would be enough to prevent Tridel from getting permits.

Tridel is a full service company. Because of this, their after market service is second to none. They are overrated when it comes to quality. It's good but, not in league of its own.

Tridel builds everywhere. They started the Entertainment District boom. They probably still rank really high compared to others for completed builds in the downtown area since 2000. I also disagree that the suburbs cares less about design. They just have more inspired tastes.
