Such a cool modern looking building...right beside that retro, dated eyesore Holiday Inn!!! I was in the area recently and noticed that they painted the bottom part of it black to make it look more sleek :tup:
|
IMO, festival tower (the tower itself) is not very architecturally unique but the podium makes up for it!
I would have liked something more unique for such a special building!:rolleyes: |
Wow, nice progresssion on this building...should be getting quite tall now...
|
|
Nice shots caltrane!!!!
The podium looks classy! ***WHY DOES THIS THREAD HAVE ONLY 1 PAGE COMPARED TO UT? :) |
we are the only 2 toronto forumers heree... unlike UT, which has over 1000 members..
Toronto memebers at SSP me u goodlookin/sacamano yyzer tony mark and a couple others... |

Too true :( IMO the only reason UT is somewhat better is because it has SOOO many more members... (and more threads)... it's also dedicated for TORONTO... ***Skyscraperpage has a HUGE member list INTERNATIONALLY and has AWESOME (and epic ;) ) SKYSCRAPER Drawings!!!!! SSP is legit in that sense.. ** I think skyscraperpage looks nicer too (more colourful compared to UT's pale blue colour :yuck: )... I like SSP better cause it's a nicer place to chill.... But i absolutely had to get a UT account :cool: |
Thanks guy for giving us updates on Toronto! I don't generally have time to look at UT and being in Halifax, the SSP posts have kept me up in the loop with Toronto development.
I'm loving everything I have seen and it will be a completely different city than it was when I lived there. I plan on taking full advantage when I eventually move back. |
Wow. I love the podium/base on this building. The tower is so/so, (hard to tell from the rendering) but the base is really attractive. I like it very much.
