Thx for starting this thread, Cal....Toronto is under-represented on SSP, it's good when someone spreads the word....:cheers: ...

I'm very excited to see this one rise. I think it will become a great addition to the area.
|
Another new art-deco inspired tower for Toronto. I hope this and 1 St. Thomas start a trend!

It really shows how tall Crystal Blu is and how congested the area is gonna get... Gotta love it!!!! :) http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/...cf2d3081_b.jpg Here are some shots of Crystal blu: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2630/...4b4b2848_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3481/...097d9653_b.jpg All photos by me: steveve :) Enjoy! |
Excellent update. I love the setbacks of Uptown and how Crystal Blu animates what would otherwise be a boring street. :cheers:

I want to see a 200m+ building AT LEAST on that site... But I have a feeling if Great Gulf Homes is gonna put anything on the site they'd stick with a 150m building just because they haven't done anything tall yet... They might play it safe that way... But four seasons is gonna be good but it's kinda sad how FS is in the outskirts of the skyline and is not surrounded by very dense areas (it doesn't have anything to back it up with Uptown Res. is really gonna change the overall appearance of the area... it seems really Manhattan Like and is gonna feel that way... It's really hard to picture a finished Uptown Residences in the area... I wanna see how it's gonna look in "real life"... http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/8...nderingbu0.jpg :) I SERIOUSLY envy New York's version of density... I was there last year and every street you take has massive street canyons, density and skyscrapers.... In many cases the average height would be like 150m for each building... And I love how all the buildings look right next to each other and match in height, shape, etc... and how they are so close to each other... But of course it's unfair to compare toronto with da big apple. NY density with Bank of America Tower (look at that MASSIVE steetwall/canyon) when r we ever gonna see somethin like this in TO :(: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2652/...5b2e2ede_b.jpg |
^^We have a few canyons like that in T.O., just not nearly as many as N.Y., a city whose density of skyscrapers is unrivalled.
