Personally I'm fine with it.

So am I. It looks like a renovated warehouse that's been turned into condos without the standard ugly glass add-on. It's simple but looks authentic.

Actually reminds me a bit of Amsterdam.

Really? Man I must be the only one. I can't stand it. Not sure what it is about it but it just seems so bland to me.

It wouldn’t be the worst on a side street but the fact it’s on Bloor is what kills it for me. That stretch can be pretty bleak to walk down, and one of the city’s ugliest condos is across the street.

You want a fugly bland condo huh? Well here’s Conservatory Towers

Or if you wanna go really ugly try these ones in Missingsausage, complete with clockzilla’s head and girth

Oh god, I forgot about that vertical turd

The ketchup and mustard colours and the stupid grey spandrel make me want to hurl

I considered buying a condo there due to being adjacent to cooksville go station but felt the asking prices were too much for all that blandness.

Is that new build or historic? I don’t see the ugliness. I’d kill for something all in brick with no stucco in Calgary.

They keep on polishing this turd and it keeps getting shittier.

Whoever designed this monstrosity must be out of his mind. This thing makes me want to vomit every time I see it.

stevanford1 · #**3132** Posted **Aug 15, 2019, 3:06 PM**

This thing gets worse every time I look at it.

As does it’s barftastic cousin in Kingston

New build from 2002. I hate it, but I think that's just because I pass by it all the time and it takes up so much of the block.

I raise you with one of the ugliest buildings I have ever laid eyes on. It also takes up a whole block.

lol what a mess. It looks like they hired half a dozen architects and half a dozen painters and let them all run wild.

You would not believe how pink this thing is in person.

That belongs in a Brian De Palma movie. Where is it located?
