I'd be happy with any big aesthetically pleasing working fountain.
The biggest dissapointment was the Four Seasons fountain with no water!
Yes it doesn't need to be Victorian but that rendering is a load of BS. Not sure why they even bother presenting something they have no intention of building. All it succeeds in doing is pissing people off and injecting a lot of distrust. If they're going to misrepresent that what else are they misrepresenting? The Four Seasons hotel fountain was positioned too close to where cars would be parked. They'd get sprayed with water. You'd think someone would have realized that before they signed off on it.

The One an interesting diagram created by urbantoronto forumer: Contra. You can see how things are speeding up now. You can also see where it sat waiting on permits.
I gotta say, CIBC Square gives an imposing feeling when driving by it on the Gardner. Imposing, but not oppressive.
So many condos along that stretch basically abutting the Gardner and they look like standard residential buildings or the buildings are narrow.
CIBC is an elegant chunk of a building. I don't consider it beautiful but it ain't hard on the eyes.
10 York is the other building that stands out to me there. One because so much of it, along withe podium, runs along the Gardner but also its wedge shape.
Mohkínstsis — 1.6 million people at the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains, 400 high-rises, a 300-metre SE to NW climb, over 1000 kilometres of pathways, with 20% of the urban area as parkland.
^Just to be clear: that's the 712-ft tower rising. Phase 2, the 1,025-ft tower is currently in excavation (see below). Phase 3, 865 ft, hasn't begun construction yet.
CIBC square are absolutely stunning towers, but in Toronto's skyline, they really should have been taller. Nevertheless... stunning!! my favourite new completed tower alongside Telus sky in Calgary.
