Kind of wish they'd splatter the precast with paint or even coffee lol

Uptown by me from Friday May 29.

Love the way this one enhances the Yorkville skyline.

Uptown from today by me.

caltrane74 · #**145** Posted **Aug 3, 2011, 6:19 PM**

I hear that the units are going to be occupied sometime this week or next.

caltrane74 · #**146** Posted **Aug 25, 2011, 4:09 AM**

This one is finished.

Nice little density builder.

A form reminiscent of the great art-deco setback beauties of 1920s/30s NYC.

Very true. And an execution of materials and finish that thumbs it's nose at the beauties of the 1920's/30's, unfortunately.

For them to get this right the developer would have actually had to spend money.

lobby is gorgeous, amenities incredible. upscale for sure, in the heart of yorkville

^ Unfortunately for the public, exterior execution is awful.

caltrane74 · #**152** Posted **Sep 19, 2011, 1:52 AM**

^ agreed. But at least it adds some variety to the skyline in this part of town along with the One St. Thomas building.

If only...

Pictures by me from Sunday November 27, 2011.
This one has been occupied since late August so this will be the last update I do on this building.

It could use some bright green/red/purple painted zig zag painted accents on the crown and edges of the setbacks. There'd be plenty of artists willing to do this work for $10/hour
Pemberton sucks.

I like it 1930's classic New York City lines. The closer you get, the less the impact the building makes though.

That style was prevalent in every city in Canada and the US that built skyscrapers in the 1920s and 1930s. New York just built more of them than anyone else because it was the biggest city around. It's no more a New York style than a Montreal style or a Detroit style.
