To blend with the limestone of the heritage building base?

Perhaps more so 875 North Michigan Ave, with the taper and the cross bracing. Too bad 270 Park Ave didn't end up with twin antennas.

Until they bring it back for 19 Bloor ;)

They're installing the Tuned Mass Damper.

Worth the wait.

True that it's attractive from the exterior, but I thinks the diagrid would disrupt the view from too many units. Not every buyer appreciates that aesthetic.

Hopefully this gets fixed. If no jer1961 pics, it didn't happen. :)

Anyone who has followed this project from the beginning knows that there is no hope of profit, the lender/owner is only trying to minimize how much they lose. There is plenty of documentation in this thread if you choose to educate yourself.

It's curtain wall - and the renderings show it going up the full height of the building.

Absolutely. You should buy two.

I look forward to the day the heritage building supports/billboards come down.

Thanks jer1961 as always! Interesting void between floors here (83rd I think):

Better building through Lightsaber.

Not really, you just need to open up the west side to the existing elevator bank.

Highly unlikely. No reason to disassemble all the equipment over the core, or switch to steel beams at the mega columns if they intended to build additional residential floors. And the garden decks were always at the same level as the TMD, accessed from the four multi level penthouses. Not sure...
