^The excavation actually surprised me for how shallow it is, especially when comparing it to two shorter buildings-Shangri-La in Vancouver and the Bow in Calgary.

This building also bares a striking resemblance to another gorgeous building recently erected in Chicago:



Ironically, Toronto's will be taller.

Hopefully, that will become the norm rather than the exception.

To each his own. Legacy is just awful. Who knew an 800 footer could look so stubby.

Well, let's admit it the picture is taken from a rather unflattering angle. I'd love to see Toronto get a 'scraper with some metallic accents like that.

webcam seems to be down... i guess all we can do is wait

I took this photo today... i just happened to notice the big shiny black Aura hoarding... is that new?.. (its probably just my lack of paying attention)

Nonetheless, the hoarding looks classy
