We recently ran a piece on the plans for a new 9 storey office building at 1-9 Sultan Street. Well we now have a rendering of the proposal. Here are the current buildings.

Quote: greenleaf First, that brick landscaping, while trying to be fun, comes off as really cheesy to me. Those new stairwells look like they were tinkering too much. I like the seating added in the walkway. But, I would have preferred to see some trees here that (presumably) had deep planters with seating around them. I may be reading into this way too much, but from looking at the render, it appears that there is detail missing around the doorways which suggests to me they would be taking these down and rebuilding them, minus some of the details. I like the office tower a good bit. It feels very light, which is needed in a cramped space like this. The curves in the glass remind me of One Bloor. So far, it looks like the developer is trying. That is a good first step.
