I really want that auto place at Jarvis and Richmond on the north west side to be developed. I feel like it really drags the surrounding area down. Queen and Jarvis on the northwest side would also make a huge impact

Agreed. I'm sure we'll see the NW side of Jarvis/Queen developed soon, great location

You mean the corner with a shelter to the north and a shelter to the south east? Not such a great location frankly.

Yes but downtown east and Jarvis specifically are developing nicely. It is still a relatively central location.

Long way to go.

It'll be interesting to see the City's response to a "tall" building here given the Tall Buildings Guidelines regarding separation distances (to 64-70 Shuter), the impact on St. Michael's Cathedral and the flight path to St. Michael's Hospital helicopter pad.

Of course, the site could accommodate a Georgian cottage or Victorian mansion within the zoning:

I *think* you could achieve the separation distances. In terms of impacts on St. Michael's Cathedral, a tall building on 60 Shuter would cause some morning shadows, but I think Jazz and St. Mike's hospital create greater shadow impacts (as will the already approved 36-storey building immediately to the south of the Cathedral). From a heritage perspective, I think the barn door has already been left open (feel free to insert better metaphor) in terms of the juxtaposition of tall buildings and the historic Cathedral. As for flight paths, who knows.

 

[khris]

Helicopters don't really need flight paths the same way as planes, as they can move vertically.

 

[thecharioteer]

True, but that hasn't stopped the hospitals from establishing "no-fly" zones around their heli-pads. Sick Kids, in fact, has their path (horizontally and vertically) enshrined in the Zoning By-law. Their argument is based on the need for speed in getting patients to the hospital and avoiding complicated flying manoeuvres.

Nice appropriate height for that area

Not entirely a box, but still a typical Toronto tower...

It's the boxified version of Ice Condo with its balconies in that pattern.
