Absolutely in love with this tower! Turned out even better than the renders in my opinion.

Nice to see the scaffolding coming down, as it seemed like it was a permanent piece of the architecture.

This building is a chameleon. In some photos it looks a bit cheap, in others it just gleams.

It's a good thing that Toronto has a lot of overcast days then!

Glad Im not the only one who thinks this way. It also protects from UV ray damage.

Well it makes sense that a city that does not get a lot of sunlight would try harder to preserve the little sunlight that it does get. A little shadowing wouldn't be as a big deal if we got sunny days all the time.

That being said, I personally couldn't care less about shadows. I don't mind them.

That would be Backstage (36 stories).
