Interesting. The designs basically look as if they designed a 1 floor section and just duplicated them tens of times until the desired height, but at least there is more colour haha. Even if it's kinda same-y that's more visually interesting. Seems like most of the architects working in this region are stuck in 2016's with the "just make everything white/grey/black and have a shit load of glass" faux-minimalist aesthetic despite this being 2024. Every dang building here looks exactly the same. Q Condos? Oh you mean Charlie West, right? Yeah that's the one on Duke and Frederick, right? Next to the old Ziggy's? Oh wait those are all different - yet the same.
Or...they have a ton of colour, but not used in any sort of sensible way. Looking at you, Northdale.
Station Park had the one skyscraper that was supposed to be very modern and colourful, but which was then turned into the most generic white condo tower that's both slim and thiccccccc with curves. What a shame. At least it'll blend in with the rest of them. 459 Mill at least still seems to be retaining the different coloured towers...unless they bait and switch that one as well. Vive has that one tower going up on King East near the Grand River, though it's not well done. The Preston Springs Hotel project has some really well done architecture with nice colour tones used, but who knows what'll happen to that one. Whoever it was that did Duke Tower at least seems to want to use dark colours for the skyscraper at Queen and Charles, but given who they hired to design it...ehhh.
