Phases 1 and 2 turned out great in my book, I'll wait to pass judgment on this one until we see more of it. I love the extrusions.

I think you're mistaken, that appears to be a porta potty ;)

Why not try to play off of the unique landmark they've got here by adding brick and stone to the podium? Not every podium has to be an airy, insubstantial glass cube.

A wilted onion for a logo... it's a bold strategy, Cotton, let's see how it plays out for them

I could see 25-30 storeys here, max. This is the very periphery of the downtown core, next to established lowrise neighbourhoods and Allan Gardens.

A phrase I never thought I'd hear

"Change of any kind terrifies me! Please don't touch our dumpy medical center, car wash, or Swiss Chalet! They're treasures!"

There's ambitious and then there's... that.

I love those old houses on Selby St., but damn will they look out of place after the Selby and the Rosedale on Bloor are built. They'll be surrounded on 3 sides by skyscrapers.

I can't see how this won't be an improvement over that apartment building that's being demolished now. It looked like an elementary school built in the '50s.

I guess the sales went well enough to warrant a phase 2 here. Hopefully this project is the catalyst that kickstarts development across the street at Woodbine Mall... look at the size of that parking lot for a mall that's in its death throes

Or, equally unnerving, they genuinely thought this was a passable project

This one will really stand out aesthetically simply by virtue of contrasting its surroundings. Most of the recent projects in southcore could learn from this.

I guess I'll swoop in here with another historical photo depicting the block junctionist was talking about (from 1898). Berczy Park is a great space now, but it really is a shame we had to lose a whole block of buildings just as beautiful as the Gooderham building to get it.

Here's the best picture I can find of the south side of King and Church, from 1856. This is looking east on King, you can see St. Lawrence Hall's cupola thing in the distance. Mind you, this is LONG before those parking lots, but still interesting!

Reaaaally could have done without the blue-grey spandrel.. why not black? Why not red?

Wonder if they dug up @name8189 's hotel?

Sure, if everyone can afford to drop 1.8 mil on one of these units :p

I think it's just missing the 35 workers standing around shooting the breeze while the 3 new guys do all the work :p
