What the site looks like today

I dont care what people say about this block, plain and simple its a dump and any replacement here is an accomplishment for this Yonge street strip.

Not sure if this has been confirmed somewhere in this thread, but as others have speculated, aA is the architect.

 

[TOfan696]

I have seen the full plans ... I can confirm it is aA

 

[buildup]

Do you know when the plans will be shown? Can you say whether they are distinctive or innovative in any way?

Its interesting how Aa and Harini Pontarini are dominating major commissions. Are there any up and coming local boutique architecture firms that you could envision joining them at the front of the pack?

I'm totally agree , any replacement here is an accomplishment and strategic leap toward all of Downtown section of Yonge revitalization....

all I can say is Murano on steroids

Could we realistically expect anything else from aA and Lanterra?

 

[renvel]

What about An Ice condo project?
It looks very elegant though...

 

[TheKingEast]

Althoug I like Murano's exterior.... I'm hoping we'll get something a little more interesting. I'm getting tired of these lifeless glass boxes.

 

[buildup]

I wonder Clewes' drawings for the proposed Bloor/Parliament site are indicative?

 

[buildup]

Would've been a great opportunity for Lanterra to hold an international competition a la Absolute. Two 58 story buildings - this is a huge project.

 

[Lansdude]

With each condo built my dream of a world solely composed of ninety degree angles continues to materialize...

So a couple taller glass boxes.
