I get that it almost certainly isn't economically viable, but I really wish that the tower in front of the Prestige was shorter so we'd have a terracing effect up from the waterfront. Instead we end up with one weirdly "short" (cus it is still a significant tower in its own right) surrounded by behemoths. Love that it isn't all white and blue glass like the north block though, having some contrast is nice, although I'm sure that will be the first thing to be VE'd out of what actually gets built, because this is Toronto and we cannot have nice things. Just blue/grey/white/black condos.
 
I don't hate the design, I honestly like it better than the original scheme. But I kinda hate how they block out SkyTower. It feels like they need to be slimmed down a bit, or maybe shortened, or maybe slimmed and made taller? Fuck it, let's just make the east tower 400m and the west tower a more modest 200m. Also I can't help but imagine what all those people who purchased south facing units in SkyTower are thinking this evening lol.
