• Hume, Christopher. (2005, 15 February). "Elegant building, but it's no work of art". Toronto Star.

  Although its name might give the wrong impression, The Monet is no work of art. On the other hand, it does bring a rare note of elegance to the glitzy but largely banal skyline of North York.

  Rising 28 storeys, The Monet, at 60 Byng Ave., is a glass tower in a forest of concrete slabs. With its curved facades facing west and east, this is one of those buildings that looks better from a distance, as an object on the horizon, though it's not always easy to see.
