Very cool... There should be a good market for some of the former Wal Street tycoons with their buyouts...

"Prices for the residences at 56 Leonard Street range from $3.5 million to $33 million."

It looks cheap and rickety to me, don't think the shoehorned sculpture fits in well either.

Man, that will be a nightmare to build.

I get the idea behind it but don't know if I like it or not.......I guess the architects are students of chaos theory? lol....

Looks like a tall Shanty from a third world country. Not attractive for the overall landscape.

anything different will make this building stand out...wish Toronto had one of these

A good reason why architects should not drink.

Kind of like a tall " habitat", so '60's.
