Design looks pretty nice. The facade should be interesting, in the least, and could be quite amazing if the glass treatment is done well.

Oh...my....us Vancouverites just had a new one here...61 floors.
I am kinda jelous that the one in Toronto looks way..more different and unique! From the artist's rendering though. Can't wait to see it....

Lived in Toronto before and it is indeed a economically powerful city

Shangri la is getting it's crane in 2 weeks.

The pit is 8 levels deep. One of the deepest excavations ever in the history of Toronto.

That looks great, and can't wait to see this one reach grade, as the tower will rise fast soon after...

Might even get the lower levels and the garage poured before the end of the year...

cool to think that toronto still has a big one on the way that hasn't even started rising above street level yet
