I think the world is now supposed to end in October, so that'll shake things up!

Is it just me or are these condos worse than anything that has went up on Cityplace?

This development makes any of the Cityplace towers look like the Chrysler Building.

Some may say we've reached the pinnacle of this towers construction.

I like the height, I'll leave it at that before I get yelled at for not hating it wholeheartedly.

I'll say this over and over again, it gets lost in the sea of other towers, so don't worry about it. With ICE and potential future projects like 45 Bay going up, it will disappear.

It's not so bad. The tower itself is anonymous. Crucially though, retail on Bay Street will enliven the area, which is the most important thing.

Just cross your fingers that we get something (positively) memorable across the street.

The only positive thing I can say is that they are almost done so this thread will die.

I like the two Success towers. The other Pinnacle buildings, not so much.

Yeah I don't mind them to be honest. They have some height to them, aren't boxes and have a decent looking top. Sure the cladding is ho-hum but what are ya gonna do.

Not bad. Kudos for cladding the columns but those vents are going to look pretty awful covered in a couple of years' worth of dirt and grime.
