• Mays, John Bentley. (2005, 1 July). "Neo project offers more than good intentions". The Globe and Mail: :G2.

  Designed by the well-known Toronto architectural firm of Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg, this complex undertaking will create a large, porous chunk of cityscape west of Spadina, between the future westward extension of Bremner Boulevard and the railway corridor that marks the northern boundary of the CityPlace site. Instead of a simple tower looming over parkland, Neo is to be a set of "fine-tuned relationships," according to architect Bruce Kuwabara. If this combination of low and high structures works out as intended, Neo could set an example of good architectural citizenship for future parts of CityPlace, and developments elsewhere in Toronto.

  Rising just west of the warehouse slab will be a 49-storey skyscraper with more glass and modernistic, big-city attitude. The principal entrances of both slab and tower will be, interestingly, on the north face of each, alongside the railway corridor. I don't think I could have predicted this arrangement. The east-west rail trench that terminates at nearby Union Station has always seemed to be, to my eyes anyway, an important and valuable but homely bit of infrastructure.
