I think it'll look terrific once all the windows are in, etc.

Am I the only one who thinks this thing looks dated in a 1990s Palace Pier kinda way? I can see it having some redeeming qualities when it’s lit up at night nut otherwise it’s just a giant “meh” lol

If you're not the only one, you're one of a very few.

hahaha, I was just thinking the exact same thing. I'm guessing the interior will take a lot of work.

I now have a habit of tuning into the crane operators Instagram daily to check out pictures from the top of the crane it's kind of cool

I always thought Palace tower things where ahead of it's time, especially when one of them was built in 1978...

... I am not sure I feel the same way about this tower. But I am of the opinion that it doesn't look dated. At all. /shrug

Because each perfectly epitomizes the architectural trends of the eras in which they were constructed. They're both awesome, but my personal preference is for the earlier of the two. It's an absolutely gorgeous building.

Palace Pier is one of my favourite developments in the city. I don't think it looks dated, though it certainly captures the look of certain time. I love the quality, especially compared to a lot of the value-engineered, spandrel-clad buildings going up today.

I mean look at Palace Pier compared to the rest of the garbage immediately surrounding it, it's a day and night difference.

One Bloor West will certainly be a timeless building, and will always standout. That is always a good thing, especially when we're talking about a sea of mediocrity and banality that is Toronto buildings.

For some reason my wife and I started referring to those buildings as Marina del Rey, and now I can't call them anything else.

okeeee I stand corrected. I think it’s the lack of outdoor space that I absolutely despise about “apartment” style projects that’s likely having me think of palace pier. While they’re great buildings with great grounds I wouldn’t want to live in a space I couldn’t sit and get some sun on my face. I am liking one Bloor more as readers share photos of it from different angles - it’s just not a livable building IMO
