The Clifton | 55m | 15s

That wall can work really well as long as they get the ground floor design right. From how that rendering looks, it has a very contemporary artsy vibe to it that is part of the whole picture with the garden and art installation. And I think that is what the architects were going for.

Also, very crucial on the exterior material used, they can't cheap out.

Dang that is a beauty. The blank wall will never be ideal but the other side is stunning.
 
That blank wall is atrocious. I'm not one to believe anyone is entitled to views, but that's one giant 🖕 to anyone in any of the existing nearby buildings who have a unit facing it.

Interesting to see a single loaded proposal, not often you see buildings, especially towers like that. But given the view is where they will make their money it makes sense as a design choice. I don't think even the highest quality can save that blank wall through. It definitely needs some horizontal elements and massing variation to break up the wall somehow. Very crude example:
View attachment 450399

It would also likely help to have a pedestrian entrance on this side, and you could use the entrance atrium in a way so that the building doesnt completely face away from the street.

The lobby entrance is on the opposite corner.

That blank wall is cladded in a wonderful stone tile from Spain. It won't be a blank stucco wall.

Pretty sure the people in properties on high street whos condos USED to be a million won’t give a shit where the stone is from lol. But, given that this building was always a possibility, I guess it’s better than looking into new neighbours?… but still kind of an asshole move to build such a monolith.

Well, they also should have known that Clifton Place was likely going to be redeveloped in the future and they would have been looking into a building regardless. THEY made that choice to purchase a condo. No one owns 'views'. And if they are blocked, well, then buy a condo in the new building ;)
