I am amazed by this! So many tall towers on Charles St. now.
|
Looks better than Casa 1.
plus it also looks like it will have fritted white glass balconys in contrast to the clear glass balconys of Casa 1 |

I lived on Charles St. West about ten years ago. Back around the time the Uptown Cinema was being demolished. When I go back there to visit, the area feels like a different neighbourhood with all the new development in Bloor-Yorkville. Off the top of my head, I can count 28 towers either built or U/C that weren't there when we moved out. (edit: make that 31).

I think Casa2 will end up looking much more attractive than her sister. I like the slimmer profile and actually appreciate the fact that the "hat" is still there, but with a different mechanical variation above that. I think if Casa2 maintained just the "hat" like Casa1, then the tower wouldn't look right (at least to me it wouldn't). Plus, having the balconies fritted - is also a plus. And what's with the night time renders, do people go condo shopping in the evenings? :)

The crown seems like an afterthought.
I really don't know what to make of the podium but E for effort as far as landscaping goes. It'll definitely beats the asphalt and sad litte flowerpot outside the Regency Yorkville. |
I aint complaining!
This is gonna make some damn good filler. |

I like buildings like this, simple and tall :)
|
Word is that Casa II has quickly sold out.
|
Maybe they'll add those 5 floors back on. This was originally 62 floors and 202m.
|
Hoarding is going up!!

This project sold out within a week and there don't seem to be any issues with shadowing. |

What's taking so long? Caltrane announced the arrival of hoarding 8 months ago. Are the guys from U moonlighting on this?
