The LOGO won't be seen from the highway like pictured in the first rendering because Ten York will block the view.

Cool to see these renderings though 8)

Yes, you are correct!

These marketing and sales guys, I don't know what gets into them.

I love these new renderings. Standing at the corner of Bremner Blvd and York St the MLS towers look pretty impressive in height. So these renderings give a real good indication of just how tall the ICEs and One York will be.

I am very excited to see them in a few years time finally finished.

It's sooo exciting what's happened/happening/to happen in Toronto.
I'm really trying to treasure the moment.

Future Aura

I haven't been doing renderings for a while but a recent photograph by an Urban Toronto member named someMidTowner, inspired me to create one. The original image was huge and so is the rendering. I have included a smaller version below with the original.

Enjoy

Not to take anything away from Traynor's work, but I think it will be a bit taller than that.

Actually I thought so too, but I thought no one would believe it! I Didn't make the highest floors 15 feet or so, which I think they may be.

That makes more sense. The render suggests that the elliptical portion would be taller. That view will look quite a bit different once Karma, 460 Yonge, and 501 Yonge go up. I can't wait.

Aura is gonna look sick! I forgot how tall that eliptical portion is going to be. As usual, it all comes down to quality materials though; have we seen any of that green glass yet?

Great job Traynor. And hey this tower is so tough to get the height right since nobody really seems to know how tall it may end up being. Good work.

If if sales and proposals slow down here we still have a ton of stuff on the go to look forward to. I need to make a future render. I always say I will but never get around to it.

Don't forget that there will also be 10 York, 45 Bay St and 156 Front St and a few other fillers in this image too. This area is going to be totally and radically changed within a few years.

If only they had put another 20 floors on the PWC and Telus towers. Just think how much better this view would be. A little bug bear of mine but one I will have to live with.
