I'm glad they changed the design. The last thing we needed was another boxy green glass tower. This is far more interesting and swanky looking than the previous design. Love the black too.

As rendered (in Posts 3 and 6, not the original) this is probably the best looking residential in Toronto's entire multi-decade boom. I hope it turns out as good in real life!

These are from two months ago, just to better illustrate the podium here, and its place next to several existing towers;

This is a nice tower, I don't care what anyone says. The dueling styles is something different, and everyone says Toronto only builds boxes.
