Oh my god. Atrocious. What a lazy design with no sense of context. Also those people on the balconies are like 10 feet tall.

My goodness developers are pretty eager to destroy the Bathurst/Queen intersection with garbage designs. I thought Timbercreek's proposal was bad enough, but now we get this too?

The massing on this is just horrendously bad.

Timbercreek is at King and Bathurst.

Pretty lazy effort to gobble up five storefronts on queen west.

Bring it on? to such a depressing intersection, now if they can also develop the north/west corner

 

[Amare]

Timbercreek is at King and Bathurst.

Good correction, slight mix up in my intersections. Nevertheless, this area should more than this drab proposal.

 

[Northern Light]

The height of this proposal is reasonable and it's a replacement for that awful Pizza Pizza location.

From that perspective I welcome something....

But clearly there's more than one thing amiss w/this proposal as is...........

I would argue for uniform, modest, setback after the 3rd floor. to better reflect the context/scale of adjacent properties.

Extend Brick up the first three floors, lose the bizarre box.

Tone that brick colour down, I'm fan of colour, but not that colour on this corner.

Add a modest cornice befitting area retail at top of the third floor.

What's set back would concern me less, though they certainly could do something more interesting than the above.

Also the retail signage should not be backlit box style.

It should either be 3D lettering or more of a heritage style with with lighting from above/front, and w/the signage rising almost to the second floor windows.

Not impossible to imagine:

I believe Timbercreek is part of the Trilium Group who has been quietly acquiring a lot of properties in the area, including the parking lot a couple doors west of the Wheat Sheaf. So it looks like this group is on its way in uglifying the neighbourhood.

The mechanical box looks brutal in the rendering. Can't they integrate it into the architecture? People are going to see this building from near and far around the neighbourhood.

 

[AlbertC]

I like the grid pattern of the orange brick section. But the mechanical box top and the grade level look like afterthoughts. It could use some refinement on both of those components.
