Toronto YC Condos -- Yonge at College | 198.42m | 62s | Canderel | Graziani + Corazza

Sorry just to clarify my own confusion, when you say 57 floors are you referring to residential floors as the thread states 63s.

Thanks.

Minus floors 4, 13, and most likely 44, and a few other silly superstitious numbers.

That is quite an emphatically stated statement. I just think they could have tried for a bit more. I agree that by local standards it was not timid, but for me that is the problem. As I said, though, the comment is meant as a miniscule encouragement for any developers who might read it. There are in fact disinterested citizens who will, unsolicited, write in to relevant actors to support ambitiously scaled projects that may face opposition.

With height and density comes responsibilities - I am not sure if said developer and architect had produced any product that compares well even by local standards, much less abroad where such a level of ask might be more common.

636 units and 57 floors is not timid in any sense.

That's not right, actually. It is more complicated than that. Please refer to this post from page 43 for a thorough look at how many floors this building has.

Your reference is an older elevation. The height has since been revised to 198 metres.

That post cites 198 metres twice.

The "west elevation" drawing with all the highlighted floors is 207 metres tall. The rest doesn't matter.

The drawing, "west elevation", with all the floors highlighted has a height of 207 metres.

compare Map 2 from the final report and the city bylaw. Note: the east elevation detail.

I noticed that the demolition has actually begun on this site, but it was cold and I was late for work so couldn't take a picture lol

Yes they have closed off the laneway between YC and Karma as well.

Here's some photos.

Good riddance.

I haven't seen a Teperman Wrecking sign in some time, it's a bit of a throwback to all the demo pics in the Then and Now thread.

 

[Benito]

From today.

Good riddance.

I agree! The only one I want to see come down more is the east side of Yonge between Alexander and Maitland. That one can't get demolished fast enough for me.

 

[Benito]

I was expecting the demolition work to be noisy, but you'd hardly know they were at it and my office is just on the other side of the lane way.
