Boy, that yellow brick building reminds me of the SE corner of Bloor + Yonge...

Nice!

Queen West is quickly becoming Yorkville.

 

[allabootmatt]

Why, yes, I could take that.

 

[ProjectEnd]

Its not bad at all. Its not really engaging, but at the same time its not at all pretentious or offensive - just more gray infill.

I agree, Queen West is rapidly becoming Yorkville Jr.

 

[CanadianNational]

It looks like the retail arm of the Opera House.

That said, I like it. Nice 'n' simple with a good sense of scale to it.

Thanks Mike in TO

Very nice, particularly in the way it defers to the 2s Queen St. streetscape.

Pretty cool. Yeah, this doesn't look bad. Good "Avenue" style development, but I hope they don't just rent the bottom out to a chain.

When I was walking to my last job interview, there was a freak thunderstorm and I ended up buying an umbrella from that convenience store. Not only did I land myself the job, I also scored an umbrella which I still use today. I'm kinda sad to see it go.

 

[Blixtein]

I like it. Could have been much, much worse.

 

[marcus_a_j]

It looks very institutional to me. It's ok, just not very exciting. But given that it's a mix of office, retail and residential, I give it the benefit of the doubt.

It's so much like the previous building in that it's clean and modern, but not that distinctive. Fortunately, it appears to be of a higher quality with large windows and an appropriately modest increase in height. So, it's an improvement.

 

[Hydrogen]

Clean lines and well-proportioned. And no pippypoo's either.

 

[JasonParis]

Pretty cool. Yeah, this doesn't look bad. Good "Avenue" style development, but I hope they don't just rent the bottom out to a chain.

Adam Vaughan's monthly e-letter suggests they are in talks with a single retailer for that space, which probably means chain, but not necessarily.
