• Hume, Christopher. (2004, 18 December). "Symphony Square is slightly out of tune". Toronto Star.

  The latest eyesore to appear in this overheated neighbourhood is a massive complex at 7 and 23 Lorraine Dr. - one block north of Finch, west of Yonge.

  Most revealing, however, is how the twin towers were carefully conceived as something less than fully urban. The landscaping, quite pleasant in itself, reads like an attempt to retain elements of the suburban in the complex. In fact, it is an urban site and should have been treated as such.
