Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners-designed office tower for Oxford Properties. No height yet as architectural plans haven't been submitted. I'm guessing around 280 metres.

Thanks, Marcanadian! I like it... kind of Norman Foster-esque.

 

[isaidso]

It's got girth. :yes:

280.65

I'm going to buy some tonight and get with you!

Impressive

This looks more like a high end condo than an office building. I prefer more traditional designs for office.

 

[isaidso]

Well you've had a feast of office buildings to look at then. Perhaps we can get a few that appeal to a different aesthetic. CC3, CIBC Square, and this one are a breath of fresh air for me. The top of this is a little too abrupt but overall I'm pleased with what I see.

 

[ainvan]

Not too bad, but I'm not a fan of transparent glass for office buildings.

 

[Taller Better]

I think the exoskeleton design is kind of an international style of architecture popularized by architects like Norman Foster. We are not used to seeing a lot of it in Canada yet; personally I welcome the change from the standard glass office tower. Nice to have a bit of variation! kay:

 

[isaidso]

Variation is a good thing.

 

[StEC]

I think it's a beauty. Love the clear glass especially the grand atrium's on various floors and the load bearing structure is a marvel of engineering! I only wish it were taller.

Downtown has moved south the density in this area is off the charts only problem is transit hasn't followed. On top of the DRL they will need to build a whole new subway line to service this area at this pace of development and population explosion!

 

[Marcanadian]

I suspect the glass will be similar to London's Leadenhall Building.

Bottom bit looks good, middle not so much, top is good again.

 

[NEWUSER]

Interesting looking tower.

As with anything else being built in Toronto, we have to wait for final renderings - after they have gone through their Value Engineering and gutted the design.

 

[Mercenary]

Nice, the last major surface parking lot in South Core will now be gone. The area will be fully developed once this building is built.

Not a fan of the ladder-look it has going on on all four sides from top to bottom. Also, still another blue-glass and steal square box. There are enough of those in South Core. We need more buildings that make better use of colour, shapes angles, and more consideration to the top of a building (exs. light, spires, stepbacks, etc..)
