Not really. According to the database one is 64 stories while the other is 44. A 20 floor difference is pretty large imo.

......................And BOOM! THERE's THE CHEAPENING!


Wait...this is E condos right?


Wait...where's E condos?


.....no it can't be


...oh god


....wait...there's the black...or is it black? And still no sign of that signature red....



I'm not incredibly dissapointed...but I swear they should make unrealistic renders a crime. This is clearly a case of baiting. That first render versus this bares a pretty big difference. However, that last pic gives me hope.

the only real change is the loss of the red, which would likely have cost next to nothing to do. this is a design change made for the purpose of design change, rather than to save cash. the second tower redesign, on the other hand, is a cheapening. I actually like it more now though, as the less twins this city has the better.

These are the old renderings:








Aside from the loss of the red and the smaller tower being shortened, it hasn't really changed.

Just me, but I'm glad they dumped the coloration. Why architects use colors for buildings in the manner they've been suggesting for cities like TO and Miami baffles me.

It's gimmickry, pure and simple.

But I'll change my mind if they can find more elegant ways to integrate color with form than has been shown recently.

The only difference I really see is the loss of the red, which I thought was pretty interesting.

The lattice effect still seems to be black or a darker shade of grey. The difference between the old and new renderings is the older ones were primarily night time renderings (which are usually misleading), while the new ones must have been created by another artist. But there doesn't seem to be too much of a difference between the old and new, so I wouldn't call it "The Cheapening".

What I am most happy about is the fact the DRP (Design Review Panel) found the height to be acceptable. Poor Mr. Matlow must be crying himself to sleep as he chalks up another loss.

It has an elegant 70s feel to it. A welcome sight with all these bland glass boxes going up everywhere. 9/10.

The new rendering highlights the cladding very nicely.

It has a 1960's classy office tower look. I like it.
