This project is now known by 8 Wellesley (surprise...surprise), and has a new rendering.

I'm glad they changed the design. The last thing we needed was another boxy green glass tower. This is far more interesting and swanky looking than the previous design. Love the black too.

As rendered (in Posts 3 and 6, not the original) this is probably the best looking residential in Toronto's entire multi-decade boom. I hope it turns out as good in real life!
