The cheapening of the façade/base and the set of cheap front doors straight out of a catalogue, ruins it for me.

I don't even know what "MV" is. lol Mount Vicki's? More Velveta?

Great design and a very decent design firm...but yes, between value engineering and the fact that the "developer" does not have a history of building anything this decent, I do not have high hopes its completion as rendered. But please, let me be wrong. 🙏

A quick rant: every time I come on this board, I curse all the useless clutter at the top and the bottom. There is little room to read the posts, let along see the pictures properly. And as for the mobile version...it is unusable. I realize that those who have put in the work making this...

We knew this was going to be terrible. Sad.

No offence, but I am extremely skeptical of my fellow forum members doing armchair feasibility studies here. I do not think we have any idea whether this will be successful or not. I assume that Therme has looked at this with great detail and have concluded that it is feasible and worth their...

A question for a potentially one of the experts on this board: What is the cost of this brick pre-cast as opposed to window wall/spandrel? What is the cost non-brick precast, as opposed to window wall? The reason I ask, is that if precast is cheaper (or not substantially higher in price) I...

Please please please do not have this lay as an empty or surface parking lot for ANY period of time. Four plus years of construction will be bad enough for the fabric of this street.

Great great news!!

By what?

And they are adding more elevators to handle the extra floors, right? No? You mean those who already bought into the building will have to suffer with longer waiting times? Really? ;) ;) ;) ;)

I like the mixed use but I agree: the retail could certainly be much better. I lament the loss of these restaurants and the new building does not appear to provide the spaces to even replace half the old restaurant space,

I am surprised that this is an IBI design. Although not an exceptional design firm, they are very good at turning cheap into something palatable. Here, they have done just the opposite...and it has almost everything to do with the materials chosen. I pray this does not get built in the...

Take one look at the architecture firm involved. One can't realistically expect this tower to look anything like the renders. On that point alone, you can firmly put this into the "Niagara Falls fantasy league" of local developments.

I just don't understand the heavy-handed tabletop/shelf element of the podium. It overwhelms the façade of the old CT and adds nothing to the attempt at graceful and light towers. Maybe this proves that even if you copy a decent design, Big or small, there is no guarantee that you will be...

I am still desperately waiting for some decent finishes for the underside of the front roof where it hangs over the building. Please, please. 🙏

Yes, I do not mind this little retail atrium at all. I do not think it will "suck the life out of Yonge St." In fact, it could do just the opposite if the retail is unique enough (and people are looking to get out of the cold or heat). It looks like a decent space....that still contains the...

Its the Apple store! They are putting in a restaurant. Apple pies and turnovers all day!! (kidding).

Considering we have not seen one of these proposals actually get off the ground, they are not even airbnb units. ;)

I would like anything that used better materials, was better designed and amounted to better architecture. Anything. No coffee shop is going to save this disaster.
