• Hume, Christopher. (2004, 11 December). "Esplanade disappoints". Toronto Star.

  The glass-and-concrete slab at 222 The Esplanade is typical; it reads like some survivor of a kinder, gentler, time when residential architecture addressed the needs of civilized behaviour. The windows provided views, the location offered proximity and the shops at street level added convenience.

  It was thoroughly urban, a city building through and through. Now it looks like a remnant of a dying society, occupied but desperate and in decline.
