For the lower 10 floors, the floor slabs themselves are actually thicker due to the weight load of the tower cantilevering out over the cut-out corner.

L Tower - Toronto

The tower looks so much more impressive as a concrete and steel skeleton than when it glazed with yet more ubiquitous blue or green glass.

The thing I am finding more and (which isn't such a great revelation), is lighting makes such a big difference. Some days a crummy building can look really nice when the natural light hits it in a certain way. L-Tower isn't looking so great in this most recent picture, yet in others, I find the blue glass quite nice.

That looks amazing. I was initially worried about the glazing, but not any more.

This project and ICE may end up being the best pure condos built in this boom.

That is until One Bloor comes online.

L Tower - Toronto's Curving Skyscraper

Davis137 · #**416** Posted **Sep 20, 2012, 6:27 PM**

Alright...it's starting to look really impressive now. The glazing looks great, the curvature of the building looks great, and I'm sure the top will look great too. I really like this one now.

caltrane74 · #**417** Posted **Sep 20, 2012, 10:45 PM**

Yeah, way better than even my wildest expectations!

I like the cladding and the look and shape of Citi, but, in my opinion, it would look better taller.
