rumour is that Will Alsop is the architect.....if true, anything could happen design wise...
And to be clear, the 80s condo pair rumour is a separate rumour from the 100s one... so yeah, it's all a but surreal!

My first thought:
WAIT!, let the Cumberland Terrace re-do come to market first, every cycle the owners are late to market and we get stuck w/that piece of #$#@ for another decaded+.
If something like either of these 2 proposals (100/80) come to market, and are successful, I see Cumberland sinking again)

My second thought: Honestly residential height is getting a little concerning. People forget the practicalities, like the last blackout.....natural water pressure only gives you running water to between the 6th and 11th floor depending on your area and floor heights.
So, no power (back up generators generally only give you 30min to an hour of water pumps)....no water, that's not just the sink folks, or the shower, no toilet either!
Also, no power, no elevators..........you thought walking up 20 floors sucked, wait for 80+.
Not trying to be a buzz kill.....I can still support residential at High Rise levels....I'm just thinking this is overkill.
Besides, I want more mid-rise intensification on Danforth, Bloor West, Eglinton (East and West) etc.
