We need more buildings clad like this , but in the 15-30 story range too with stepbacks. Normally I dislike overhang over oversized retail units, but the arched edges soften it nicely

Im referring to the mullions dividing the spandrel. Why do developers (usually) feel a need to make the opaque aluminum mullions protrude from and clash so much with the glossy spandrel?

Is it that more expensive to install a window wall system similar to 310 Tweedsmuir "The Heathview" I saw those towers today in person, and they looked pretty nice. Hell, even a coat of brown paint on the bright aluminum mullions would make Nobu more tolerable.

330 is reasonably clean and respectable filler. I never cared much for the awkward proportions and random cutouts of Picasso (im referring to the condo building ofc, not the artists actual work) But the mustard yellow lo rise is next level bad.

I see what you mean but Im just thankful they didnt opt for modern picture windows.

This is a tragedy. Planning has their priorities totally out of order.

Judging from the render it will be used for the gap toothed section between the podium and tower (11-13th floors) The towers , worst case scenario, should have black spandrel that at least matches the mullions and wont be too noticeable from the ground.

Seems like wasted space to not incorporate it into a purpose built rental or mixed use tower.

I dont particularly care for the roof, picture windows or doors. I've definetly seen countless better designs from Wengle , it looks like his client in this case was very budget concious.

I apologize if the plans have been clarified, but this would make for a nice underground connection to the subway.

Judging from the rendering, it looks like this is a temporary thing for the sales centre. I assume they want the sales centre to be presentable, without breaking the bank before the majority of the units have sold

I could definetly see the laneway north of Washington and backyards/garages of the Victorian homes being turned into a stacked townhome type development with taller midrises/highrises further north by the school

I hope those victorian homes on Washington Ave are preserved. The squat 50's /60s addition and parking lot should be demolished for 20-40 story mixed use buildings though.

That podium is a window wall and balcony monstrosity! Absolutely hideous! The towers are not bad.

I wish the (limestone?) podium was taller. 4 floors is a bit stubby. 10-20 floors of limestone and punched windows would have done wonders for the street level experience. That being said, 11YV looks relatively promising as far as the Toronto condo scene goes - no goofy balconies or...

Ah , yes. Im not shedding a tear over the old ketchup and mustard logos biting the dust.

You can expand underground parking and build parkade spaces under highrises and hotels without sprawl That being said, I think chasing an NFL team rarely pays off for cities economically

I agree this is some of the nicest glass I've ever seen in the city. It reminds me a lot of Shangri-La. Re: Recladding RBC/Ritz Id much rather put this hypothetical windfall towards (stripping to the studs & ) re-cladding 300 Front Street in decorative brick, terra cotta, stone /punched...

Im just relieved to see solid traditional lighting standards instead of minimalist toothpick poles It's going to really start looking good when some greenery is added .

Looks garish
