The Verve is my least favorite u/c in Toronto right now, not sure if it's the colour, the precast, or the stupid hat.

I thought it WAS Arriva at first. So you're not the only one.

All of the above, but the colour is the worst part. They should have gone for a darker green.

It's hard to pick a worst but it's definitely among the select few. Success will top it though if it turns out anything like its rendering. And, still better than 80% of the crap going up outside the downtown.

those NYCC towers (i.e. Pulse) could give Edmonton a run for the money

Note how Verve dominates in the first wideshot... and forgive the filthy windows.

Calgarian · #**273** Posted **Mar 31, 2008, 4:59 PM**

WE need some pics of the Calgary projects on here. I haven't seen any updates from Jamieson or Centennial in a long time.

caltrane74 · #**274** Posted **Mar 31, 2008, 4:59 PM**

I also need to update the list.

Star Tower in Etobicoke is now under construction at 140 Meters tall.

I really love the glass on Murano. That slightly grey metalic colour seems to be getting more and more popular. It's worlds better than the plague of shiny blue glass throughout downtown Ottawa.

caltrane74 · #**276** Posted **Mar 31, 2008, 5:39 PM**

Murano's colour seems to change colour with the weather, from dark brown(black) to grey and cloudy days, to blue and reflective blue on sunny days.

Minto is a bit of a snoozer, but Montage looks fantastic... although if I lived there I would have the montage song from team america in my head all day every day.
