Renders from the Star article The thread title should be changed to Number One Bloor |
It reminds me a lot of Aqua in Chicago, very cool though!

i dig the new design. |
niceeee! i hope it comes out lookin' as good as the renderings!

Whoopsl, actually a correction on that name change Dan, it seems to be called simply "One Bloor" now (previously it was called Number One Bloor, before that it was a different developer and was called 1 Bloor East).
There is definitely an Aqua resemblance http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/2557/aff1012.jpg from ssc |
I love that there are Aqua knock offs, surely the sign of a good idea! I like the design though, even if it resembles Aqua.
|
Hopefully (likely) it'll turn out better than Aqua, too. ;)
|
It's better than Aqua, and I'm from Chicago!
|
looks kewl, i likes...
|
Great looking tower! I hope it finally gets built! I especially like the podium.
|
I was just going to say, I really like the podium. I see the immediate resemblance to Aqua, but I'm not a big fan of Aqua, so I'm hoping it doesn't look like it when its finished. Also hoping the height gets increased when it goes into sales.
|
the only reason why this reminds me of aqua is the part where the glass meets the balconies.
the waves... well, theyre not really similar to aquas. at all imo. im glad the top isnt plain! and it looks like there's gonna be a lot of glass on this one. |

The new 1BE looks absolutely amazing in renderings (as long as the protruding balconies aren't white painted concrete), the ground level hopefully will be very organic and interact with the street and become part of the landscape, hope to see close ups of the bottom.
|
And I'd say the Aqua was inspired from the Marina.
The renderings for this look VERY cool. |
Re: Aqua comparisons.
It does have a slight resemblance, but I find Aqua doesn't have the same symmetry of One Bloor. |
Does anyone else find the podium too busy?

In all sincerity this project greatly surpassed my expectations, especially considering it's been designed by what was, only a few years ago, a rather generic 905 subdivision/executive home developer. Also there's been a height varience (increase from 65 to 70 stories) At 70 stories the height will be around 775 feet. |
One Bloor has been approved for a height increase and is now listed as 70 floors. Time to update the thread title.
