Proposed tower going up at 1540 Bloor West at Dundas. ⇒

It looks a bit out of place. (Also, Shima could have done a way better rendering for them.)

  1. I worked down the street from there for about 2 years, you’re right, that big thing is way way out of place. BUT, the stuff that’s in place is kind of grungy along that strip of bloor, maybe it will help in revitalization.

    That area’s such a weird muddle, gorgeous homes, ghetto stores, sex offenders and crazies…

  2. Well I mean, if you are going to build a giant ass tower that’s where to put it. It’s next to Dundas West station, and down the road from the Go station. There are some apartments near by, but this looks to be taller than those as well. Least the building looks cool.

  3. I know the two are very different, but seeing the made me think of this, which is probably Kingston’s greatest eyesore.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
