Rip to the Baldwin steps view of the cn tower💔 now ik how people felt about the Empire State Building being blocked by that one pencil tower.

I don’t understand why developers follow this trend of using as many different facade materials as they can. It would look 100 times better if they just used one material preferably brick.

Glad we’re getting affordable housing that actually looks good. I remember seeing an affordable housing building a while back, and it was completely green 🤣 I think it started construction.

"We already have bad buildings" isn’t exactly a reason to add more 😭

Honestly really worried about this development. It’s permanently on the waterfront and there’s no hiding it behind other towers. The renders alone give me a migraine.

whenever I see a terrible looking building I come back to this page to calm myself down. what a beautiful project.🥹

how could someone look at this and think this looks good 😭

I know Toronto permits mid-rise buildings in many areas, but that’s not the main issue. There is still a big gap between what is allowed and what actually gets built. I’m not saying that single-stair buildings will magically solve affordability, but they do remove some barriers and create more...

hopefully they keep the original colour for the street level

Other than the obvious issue of having a single staircase, this kind of change would do wonders for Toronto. Even allowing buildings up to 4 storeys along streetcar corridors would make a huge difference for walkability, cut down on car use, and make neighbourhoods feel a lot more lively. But of...

Don’t get me wrong—I like the blue colour of the left tower and how the lack of balconies gives it a clean look. It’s just that the base is one colour, while the three towers are different colours. Using a single colour throughout would’ve looked better, or even a more natural tone like the one...

design flaws aside we need to copy and paste this type of building 1000x around dt Toronto if we truly want more affordable housing.

someone help me understand the colour choice here o_O

i’m actually the opposite. I like the back side of this development more than the front. The way everything looks coherent and then kind of steps up toward the towers is really nice imo. The towers themselves also have some nice detailing from the back. The front though, even though I love the...

It’s crazy to think that 100 years ago building a skyscraper was meant to be an art form and a way to show off wealth. Now it’s just a competition to see who can cram the most condos into a building with the worst-looking facade. The height is already bad for where it’s located does it really...
