General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours

The video makes it sound like some kind of mystical Shangri-la.

Just checked out their website and they describe every project in such a goofy pretentious way. They describe the project at 20 University West as:

The design of 20 University is based on the theme and magnificence of Niagara Falls with the sun above. [...] The podium level at the parking garage will have perforated screens that symbolized the rocky base, along with the white paneling of the mist with grey paneling representing rocks piercing through. Going up the tower, tapered balconies convey the turbulence of the mist. The white linear lines on the tower itself symbolize the power and magnificence of the falls. Above the top of the tower is the sun, that will be lit up at night identifying the building through out the area. Mesmerized by its beauty, 20 University conveys a powerful message about our willingness to use nature within its design.

Who the heck is writing this stuff? Lol.

Damn ChatGPT...

Speaking of mental health, I am aware of at least one student who did leap to their death out of one of the Icon buildings.
