180 Queen St West
A week ago I showed you the hanging "180" address from this building, and today the whole structure which is located at Queen St W and University Ave. This award-winning building was completed in 2006 and was designed by Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects (KPMB), one of my favourite firms around town who have done wonderful work on new buildings as well as restorations and retrofittings of older ones that were brought back to their original glory. This building houses mostly federal court departments as well as some financial companies and also one of the best restaurants in town. More pics over the next few days including some wonderful art from the lobby.
I have to admit to waiting for a streetcar to come by for a dash of red.

Now this is a building I haven't seen. It's a design that does appeal to me!
Haha! Nice confession Pat :) sounds like an amazing building, looking forward to seeing inside.
THat streetcar is a nice touch!
The streetcar was well worth the wait too!
That is a very attractive building and that dash of red is perfect for the photo.
Great photo!!
It is a rather austere building, looks very functional.
Well, it was worth the wait, although that building can stand alone. It's very attractive and now I understand better the sign!
nice timing ;-)
Yes, RedPat, it is a handsome building for the downtown area, and you were a clever girl to wait for that red streetcar. Now, where will the vandals paint their street art on this building?
Fascinating building...I like the splash of red too.
Beautiful building and the red streetcar definitely adds some zinG! Beautiful corner to hang around on as you waited for it to come by. I would love to visit your beautiful City..
I remember the hanging '180'. Great building.
I smiled that you waited for that dash of red. Great addition.
Interesting design.
Pat, did you put that funny top on that building?
