do the renders in the DB file represent some earlier iteration of this project? Or are they just concepts?

Perhaps "The One" across the street will accomplish that

Not liking that beige precast :/ I hope they stick with the purple exterior lighting promised in some of the earlier renderings though, that would look cool at night.

Leaked renderings! :P

68s proposed, not approved. Either way, I can't see this losing more than a few storeys. Hopefully it gets worked out in mediation.

You're quite right, but I think there are workarounds to those problems that can be found without butchering the height and density of a building in an area that can definitely support it. Considering the projects being built around it, including Pace and Ryerson's student housing, the height...

I wish this was gonna end up a little bit taller. I actually like the design, especially the not-blue-ness that is ever more outnumbered in this part of town.

From what I know, the City and Province are interested in breathing some life into the Ex grounds and Ontario Place. The Ontario Place plan actually looks pretty good, but this hotel complex is a bit more iffy in my opinion. This is likely the first of many attempts at revamping the Ex grounds...

Wait, wouldn't they need to get a demolition permit for the current houses first? :S Also, how is it that Greenpark feel ready to begin shoring work if we haven't even seen any marketing or sales? Is this an investor condo?

Very confusing rationale considering Pace is U/C and Dundas Square Gardens is right there as well. Dundas and Jarvis is (or should be) a major downtown intersection with a streetcar right there and the Yonge subway 10-15 mins walk away. I imagine the OMB will side with the developer largely on...

Intriguingly weird massing, and the glass looks a lot like the renderings of Ryerson Student Centre, which turned out great. Me likey!

Man, will that block of rowhouses look out of place when this is done.

Quick search on the Toronto development application site found nothing. No marketing stuff either.

Anyone have a site plan for this? The field of blood is genuinely confusing.

Wow, incredible. Lanterra have been steamrolling through sales lately. They must have some good connections.

Followed closely by complaining about the people complaining about the bland developers in Toronto. :P

I wonder how many people attended the ceremonial sticking of the ritual shovel into the symbolic pile of sand :P regardless, I'm excited to see how this turns out.

There's already a farmer's market at Ryerson, and (i think?) one at YDS sometimes. Still a great idea to animate the area though, perhaps it could include pop up retail of other varieties. I'd run that by the Downtown Yonge BIA if I were you

If there is any kind of real estate bubble burst or economic downturn between now and then I will probably tear my hair out.

I'm no engineer or architect either, but if this is possible I think that overhang is as well. I'm glad those older buildings were kept as well, keeps the scale human at the ground level.
