The building's structure would interfere with a glassy look so they'll probably settle on a dynamic light show. White stone and Tiffany blue lentils would also be tasteful but boring conventional
Rezoning is not a development project. It could advance to become a development project but, until it does, there is nothing to be cancelled here. It will be valid 50 years from now. The only thing is the unit sizes may be too large in 50 years.
A proposal is an idea; a concept. Shouldn't get too real about any renderings that are newly posted on the application info centre. Intent to build is pre-selling, pre-leasing or, the obvious, breaking ground.
The facades gives 1 Bedford a run for its money. This isn't preservation. Just put the designated properties out of their misery.
Over 20 FSI is excessive residential coverage. The more lots replaced with 20 FSI, the more that excessive density will come into focus. The number of bike parking...
The ground floor is mostly brick and curtain wall with the awnings and windows still to receive trim. It's a step above the rest of the tower. It isn't just a sheet of glass. There's a section of the street front that is just brick. I don't find it that big of a deal. It could be a blessing in...
Developers have sold units before without zoning approval and they are pretty good estimating the length of time zoning approval takes. YI developments may not be into developments at all. The one plus two years out for ground breaking is optimistic even if we consider a fully recovered condo...
Exactly. The Well was purpose built as high rise apartments above an open air mall. Yorkdale wasn't. Yorkdale is the uppermost echelon of retail. It's a cash cow worth more than thousands of apartments. The Well & Mirvish Village still have to prove themselves, They could join a whole slew of...
Respectfully, this is the worst sales pitch. C'mon! An lrt to the biggest hospital? It's a big lake with a long shoreline in the GTA.

Towers and skylines are meaningful on urbantoronto. They aren't an expression of commercial prowess or wealth. They aren't the lifestyle choice like the mid...
This thread was started in 2013. If they haven't built anything yet than they surely aren't going to build anything now. Cheapening and such is just wasting key strokes.
Kinda ugly lower middle class family homes will be multi-million dollar condos wedged between skyscrapers. It's all weird and very Toronto. The attention given to these to renovate and restore while other significantly grander structures and where the replacement is the neighbourhood oddity face...
40 times coverage
861 units in 54,000 square metres
74 car and 259 bike spaces for 861 units.
forget the rendering. these are deplorable stats for living conditions.
The GTA had 73 built skyscrapers in 2019. Today, it's up to 113

Chicago had 129 in 2019 and, 139 today.
That's the point. Adding skyscrapers on giant parking podiums into sprawl doesn't change the sprawl. It just adds a ton more people living by that sprawl. And the precedence should this be built is replace that sprawl with suffocating vertical sprawl for tens of thousands of people that have no...
