I agree - thanks again.

Also, thanks to Locked In for the HG photos.

Cinema Tower from Jasonzed at Ut

143 Meters





This tower is directly behind the bell lightbox tower

^Unfortunately, that is the old render for Cinema. They have cheapened it down in the latest render.

Gone is the curtainwall windows and more balconies and spandrel have been added, but I do think it has a more interesting podium roof than the older one.

Newest render:

Tower 5 of Absolute World looks almost topped out. It looks like there is only one or two floors to go.

[caltrane74]

Boy, I didn't even notice that!

You appear to be right!

Podium work on Burano, from last night.

Is the waterfront there actually frozen? I didn't think the water would freeze there that far out from land.

[caltrane74]

The picture is taken from the islands or the sandbar. So the water is actually right up against the land.

[Biff]

So the water in between the Harbour Front and Islands regularly freezes in the colder winters?

Yes, if there is no +2 degree weather for more than a week or two, I can almost guarantee you the lake will be frozen between the islands and harbourfront.

Just looking at that picture I know, North York Centre has a lot of work to go before, its patchyness is gone. Gibson Square and Emerald Park have got to help here. Make the place more urban, more hip, and more happening. Although I will admit that getting a seat and table at a Tim Hortons, Starbux, or Second Cup, is like hell. Even as it stands right now. This place will need a few more coffee shops, this is for sure.

One wouldn't be able to tell from the crap architecture, but those two slab towers in the background are built in this decade

[WhipperSnapper]

The towers are boring and the podium too short but, I think most around these parts would be surprised to hear they weren't built during this era. I don't think the architecture would be improved either in a point tower format or whatever you are alluding to by refering them as "slab".

I assume this troll like stance you exude is partly in jest however, it wasn't funny a year ago.

It's pretty easy to mistake those two towers for the likes of 1001 Bay (or pretty much any 80's/90's tower along Bay). "slab" was to differentiate them from the tower at the far left, which i'm not familiar with. Plus, that word (along with "commie block") has never failed to provoke bitter defensiveness from forumers of a certain city Imagine if the slabsville thread was started on SSC, haha.
