Excellent render! I'm disappointed that the height has been chopped down.

Toronto timeless/block style + Eureka Tower = Aura @ College Park

hehe

G_DOG · December 16th, 2006, 02:15 AM

i beleive that rendering is the 75 story proposal.i think that podium floors are double height.i could be wrong ,maybe i will count the floors?

G_DOG · December 16th, 2006, 02:21 AM

man hard on the eyes^

thryve · December 16th, 2006, 02:24 AM

I counted about 66 floors + a design feature on the top worth a few floors, and the podium floors appear to have high ceilings.

G_DOG · December 16th, 2006, 02:28 AM

yeah i counted roughly the same^ 65

wiki · December 16th, 2006, 02:38 AM

My eyes hurt... do yours? That's a good sign though, when counting floors. It means that the building is tall. Which we like. I think. Right? Yeah.

Long live urbanity.

Canadian Chocho · December 16th, 2006, 04:00 AM

Damn, if it was only 4 metres taller!!

thryve · December 16th, 2006, 04:25 AM

To be honest, height isn't even close to being my main goal for urbanity. Urbanity and height are two different things.

But still, this tower looks to be a pretty exciting project, shall it proceed.

Northern Lotus · December 16th, 2006, 06:25 AM

Great render. That corner really need something like this project.
BTW, I am sure M5V is back. I have seen sales ad. in the Star and other papers.

Jackhammer · December 16th, 2006, 06:54 AM

Nice ... a good balance of blending and contrasting with the other towers and a much improved base.

I'm a sucker for height though, couldn't they throw a hockey stick on top to make it 200m.

My my what a BEAUTIFUL tower, it almost makes me cry

Waterloo_Guy · December 17th, 2006, 12:56 AM

Yup, this one is a winner. Good example of the Toronto style with just a bit of a twist.

Those kinds of polished renderings tend to look much better as renderings...than finished buildings. Not that Spire isn't a decent building, but it had the same problem...unrealistic renderings.

The facade will never look that "seamless".

unless they dump alot of money into it and go all office-tower-sleek on us

KGB · December 18th, 2006, 03:08 AM

Well yea...it is "possible" to build that top with a mirror finish, where the mullions are basically invisable. But how much do you want to bet it will end up with standard windows, frames and mullions?

thryve · December 18th, 2006, 03:25 AM

Well I figured that being part of College Park, it'd be swanked up... but you're probably right.
