Get more $ north of the core

[AndrewToronto3D]

True that, but X and Casa have simple designs that are much classier. I wish the city would demand better design for height. Especially down at the waterfront.

[vegeta_skyline]

Why are all the nice towers north of the core, while the waterfront keeps getting all the crap. I know you like Success, but that beast should be in Mississauga, not front and centre in Toronto.

You must be blind. Theres nothing wrong with success, its just about everything else around it thats the problem.

[caltrane74]

yeah, I second that!

Success (Pinnacle Centre) is HARDCORE!!!!!

totally love it!

Only if you compare renderings. X could turn out to be a window wall disaster and Casa's hat and parkade podium could still ruin it.



Murano is one of the best to come out of this boom and it's public art contribution greatly contributes to its design and the public realm around it. Fingers crossed!

I'm sorry (excluding "X" right now) in rendering and u/c form Casa is turning out much better then the suburban monster at Harbourfront.

http://www.urbandb.com/canada/ontario/toronto/pinnaclec.jpghttp://urbanrealtytoronto.com/wordpressimages/casa.jpg

I will agree that Murano is turning out nice.

[caltrane74]

Andrew and Coldrx you guys don't understand about Success......


Success is when you break up the squat concrete bunkers down at harbour with a tall and elegant glass and pre-cast tower. - It soars above all the other condos below and it brings a focal point to an area in which all the previous towers were capped at 40 stories so... they bascially look like one giant wall when viewed from the lake.

Success...when teamed up with, MLS, ICE, Telus, and 18 York will provide some relief from the concrete..create focal points with hieght and break up the nasty brown with sleek slim glass......

This type of Success is the Pinnacle...of HARDCORE!!

[AndrewToronto3D]

I will say this, it has turned out much better then it's render. I do get that it breaks the wall up on the waterfront, I don't agree it's sleek and sexy though. Regardless of how you use it Precast is a four letter word most of the time.

[caltrane74]

I like the way the pre-cast is working on Pinnacle....

It looks like a racing stripe going up the glass. (very nice!)

[Coldrsx]

... or perhaps a vertical bar of how 'success'ful they were at convincing people it is sexy or hot or amazing.

[koops65]

Geez... Cant you guys agree to disagree??? Some like it, others don't. (personally I'm on Caltrane's side)

[WhipperSnapper]

knock off 15 floors and we'd probably all agree ... unless Caltrane's the type to put racing stripes on a Chevy Cavalier

[caltrane74]

^I toyed with approaching them but figured it would be a waste of time. They could have at least had the class to send me a message here to ask permission rather than stealing.

Nonetheless, here's where Casa's at today. Currently at work on the 31st floor.

I forgot to check up-close in-person, but it looks as though they've gotten rid of the dead tree that was in the centre of the property... Also, a question for those in the neighbourhood: Walking down Charles today I suddenly noticed how sparse the trees seemed. Maybe it's just because it's winter, but were any other trees removed in the past while (like near the post office on the north side?)

OMG!

Yes, 15 floors shorter and the building would not look as good.

Agreed!

[Coldrsx]

^height should not make or break a building...

[caltrane74]

^height should not make or break a building...


But you have to take into account that if the building was 15 floors shorter it wouldn't stand out at all. As all the other buildings in the area were previously capped at 40 floors.

That's why we have that giant concrete bunker wall along our waterfront.

[Ramako]

^height should not make or break a building...

Height's not just a matter of distance. It also goes to the building's proportions, and whether it looks sleek or stubby.

[WhipperSnapper]

As all the other buildings in the area were previously capped at 40 floors.

That's why we have that giant concrete bunker wall along our waterfront.


WTF? The massing is part of Harbour Square's design. It wouldn't look any different if it was 60 storeys. I like it in the typical 1970s beach resort sense. The above ground parking garage is unfortunate as are the twin towers addition in the early 1990s.

aren't you a regular comedian huh

But I really wish you'd pay attention, no ones saying that its the greatest.
Simply put, its an improvement and that in itself is noteworthy.

I pass by this building several times a day, and its the only building in that area of the waterfront that doesn't cause my eyes to strain.

Have you ever been down there in person?
I'm guessing no, and I'll also guess that you've only ever seen the area in pictures. If that's indeed the case, its difficult to take you opinion seriously then.

Like vegeta said no one here is saying Success is the greatest building in Canada or the world. What we are saying, is that it's a huge (really huge) improvement over the buildings that are currently down by the lake. - And yes it's super tall. - You just can't fight with Success.

Actually i have been and while it wasn't at the height it is now, I still find it mediocre and that people only think it is 'hot' because it is tall.

Do you really think it is all that much better than the other waterfront stuff of late? really?

[vegeta_skyline]

Its not just the height, its the buildings proportions; sleek & slender.
Who doesn't like that?
If you know what I mean, same applies here, least to me.

And yes I do think its better than other recent buildings that have been built in that district. Not including MLS, its a bit early to judge that one just yet.

In any case like caltrane said no point dragging it on, guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

Allow me to interupt all the Toronto pictures with an update shot from arriVa 42 here in Calgary. Picture taken on March 2nd by me:

They appear to have focused in the last month and a bit on getting the entire underground parking up to grade. From that point I believe we'll start to see the entire podium for both remaining towers get built up, with arriVa 42 rising vertically after that.
