Is Dragon city remaining though ? Or are they redeveloping the entire site, kind of looks that way.

Dragon City is remaining. It's only the attached, south theatre building that will be part of the redevelopment.

Check out the location on this Google maps page, and click on Street view. The graffiti-ed section (where it says Far East Theatre right above) midblock marks where the divide is, also notice the slight difference in brick colour.

+ This old render shows DC will remain: http://twitpic.com/1a8qcu

Nice pics but of the wrong building. 270 Spadina is attached to Dragon City, where Pho 88 is.

Saw no notice up on either Pho 88 building or this one. Otherwise I would shot the other one as I was passing it. Thought this was the one based on how the other building was built.

This should be the next one to be done.

This should be the next one to be done.

Agreed. The Gold Stone is a good restaurant but its built form indicates inevitable and eventual intensification. Along with most of Chinatown. Flushing, Queens, NYC is a great example of a more built up Chinatown area but maintaining its vibrancy and pedestrian appeal.

Yeah, Flushing's Chinatown is excellent fun; good bustle, good food. I'd love to see our downtown one go that way.

God that thing is offensive

Hahaha.offensive to that part of Spadina.....Please, have you looked around

 

[Solaris]

this proposal sure looks awkfully ugly, and the use of concrete and brick in fact remind me of the 3 Peter Dickinson towers which were demolished in Regent Park .... we are no longer in 1960s and the concrete Toronto era anymore ~

I wonder what that golden coloured material is meant to be, and whether it means lots of opaque balcony cladding. Also, what's the height of the main floor? Anything less than 5 metre high main floors on our main streets should be outlawed, with 6 or 7 metres preferred.

Beyond those concerns, they've done a pretty nice job of designing an instant slum, if that's what they're aiming at.

This doesn't look promising at all. It's not even built yet and already looks gross and dated.
