Honestly I don't see how this proposal is in any way reasonable or could be taken seriously. The render looks fairly preliminary and the office space that makes up for the loss of this Modernist tower is minimal. I'd really prefer no development here, the existing building is perfectly fine, and could use a bit of heritage restoration if anything.

Totally heretical to suggest this, and not likely to happen - but I wouldn't mind an significant addition to the existing building if it is done in a manner that reads like an extension of the current tower.

That, and building is just begging for a basement level with built in TTC access.

I'm honestly fine with something of this nature occurring as well, though I doubt there could be a great addition added here, perhaps an addition of 10 floors if the engineering cost was really studied in creating this alteration.

This seems like a 2017 version of a 1980s POMO monstrosity.

I'm with @ProjectEnd: this is just Northam up-zoning the property to make it worth more before flipping it to a developer that'll bring in a serious design.

A friend of mine who leases in this building and last year signed a 12 year lease spoke to the owners of the building who said that they had no intention of building anything here. Take that for what it's worth.

My dentist is in this building and I live across the street so I'm selfishly not looking forward to this one. I hate going to the dentist enough, but at least it's easily accessible and I like the dentist himself. Not to mention how convenient the Shoppers and Bulk Barn are!

 

[ProjectEnd]

It's just an upzoning. I wouldn't worry about your dentist for a few years yet.

I thought of putting this wonderful work by Koops65 here from another post
if only it turns out like that

I love his detailed renderings on the future downtown core. Glad he came aboard on Urban Toronto blogs, and still doing his illustrations on Skyscraperpage as a bonus !

From Mike Collins-Williams, whom it seems was as the public consultation; mercifully, seems the spires are gone, but can't get a good look at the latest render, and new docs aren't yet up on AIC.

Still unimpressive.

still not going to get built like this. This is more than likely a rezoning exercise for later sale.
