you know... thats a really great shot of uptown ^^^. i actually think it LOOKS expensive in that shot. and the way the glass looks silvery in the overcast. (and those leaves at the bottom of the shot make it so awesome!... very beast tower.... just a bit cheap looking the other 364 days of the year . still better than crystal blu though!

It's certainly got a look that makes it look like something from NYC or Chicago...

Still would have been better if they didnt cheapout on the crown. And adds some variety to all the glass clones that are going up around the city.

The massing and setbacks are nice and well-proportioned, but the materials used and lack of really any detail kill this tower. It's filler, and not much else.

It really is a nice looking tower. A change of pace from all that glass. We need more of these!

I really like this one. Crown aside it's a nice looking tower by the way that it slims at the top. Toronto has slightly over done it with all the glass box condos in the recent years. I like them as well but when you get too many of them it becomes hard to define which one is what. Something like this stands out so much more.

I like it as well but I still contend it needs another 50m in height to make its proportions ideal.

I agree too many glass towers. We need more towers like this and some bold designs. This would create a city of some visual contrast.
