So what does that mean?

They present their redesign to EDC for approval to go ahead with/without conditions or go back to the drawing board for more revisions.

Talk about uninspired design. Yikes. The Soviets called and are suing us for copyright infringement. Plus, welcome to Sky Residences and Legends condos, where you get to see a gaping hole of HVAC next door instead of a plus green space.

Looks like the height got reduced again

 

[crisp]

Based on the top portion of the south elevation, really worried what the whole north elevation looks like.

This is worse than bad.

@westcoastjos nailed the sentiment perfectly and very wittily. I can't add to that. Dialog should have their architectural licenses on display in the lobby of this building.

 

[Daveography]

Oh dear

Oh dear

I remember how I felt with Stantec's final rendering in comparison to the original. I didn't like it. Now that Stantec is nearly complete, I really think it's a nice looking building. I hope to feel the same way about Tower B . That is one awful looking rendering though.

 

[chrisvazquez7]

The tower itself doesn’t look that bad. I’m very worried about the podium though....

 

[Moderne]

I'm no developer, so I have no idea about how these things work or the costs involved. But I'd sooner take a 50 metre tower and an amazing podium over anything regarding height. They've got one chance to get this square right, and I'm not optimistic about how this is going to turn out.

Poor Graham, they have to fly their name over this pig.
