Make way for a new look for Toronto Condo Developments around the city!  One particular condo development, the One o One condos in midtown Toronto could easily be mistaken for a nightclub or graffiti-splashed alley. Instead of the muted colours and cookie-cutter designs that fill many condo buildings, developer Camrost Felcorp hired Toronto artist Anthony Ricciardi to create seven murals splattered with bright paint and a rainbow of drip marks. The flashy pieces put the building in a growing group of condo complexes whose hallways, lobbies and outdoor grounds are being emblazoned with massive murals, ornate sculptures or dozens of commissioned art pieces or custom photographs. Among the installations that have cropped up outside Toronto condos in recent years are a set of tall jagged red posts, a blue tangled rubber band-like sculpture and a handful of white whirlpool installations. Real estate veterans say such art is an attempt by developers to bring a community feel to shared spaces, but also a bid to attract buyers. Large installations are popping up at an increasing rate, they say because many developers are realizing their benefits after the city started encouraging builders to allocate a minimum of one per cent of every project's construction costs on public art. This new take on Art certainly adds to Toronto's downtown core where buildings, streets and busy traffic are the only sights you usually see.
