This is one of those situations where it would make sense as a true mid-rise and be doubled in height. One block away City Council has approved 60 storey buildings. Why not allow more mid-rise near these ghastly, inhumane towers?? City planners seem almost sadistic the way they encourage these...

Glad this was approved for no higher than 31 storeys. That's a reasonable height for the neighbourhood.

It's a shame this site is being sold. The new design is exquisite.

Chabad are great neighbours, and this project will animate the corner really well. It's a little sad to see Albert's will be gone, but hopefully he'll simply move to somewhere else in the neighbourhood. The design is interesting = it's a replica of their founding rebbe's house in the UK...

An excellent project. Sympathetic external expression, great scale, gentle density. Bravo!

To purchase this at $190/sq ft means the developer expects to get approval for a 50+ storey tower. The choice of architects-Alliance for the promo renders could mean they'll do the final designs. Cheap materials, too-few elevators and cramped units. This has high likelihood it'll be a repeat of...

Great scale, massing and affinity for context. Even when Audax does modernism it's done well. 🤯

Council should make as easy as possible these sorts of gentle densifications with quality architecture.

Bingo. G+C and aA are the two worst offenders.

Then it's good that you have such a wide selection of tiny units to choose from!

This looks like a fantastic proposal with the right amount of density for the Eg/Yonge transit hub. The height is not excessive, the streetwall is a wonderful improvement of what was there previously, and the punched-windows/nod to early 20th century warehouse-expression is refreshing. Wonderful...

Remarkably empathetic design from the scale to the vernacular! It's lovely to see something that adds to the neighbourhood. That will be a spectacular corner if this gets built. Let's hope the materials don't cheap out.

This is an exquisite proposal and let's hope the market allows it to come through and this beautiful, well-scaled building is built.

Oh my god, this project keeps getting worse and worse! How does crap like this get passed??

The suite shown earlier in this thread seems awfully tight. The average unit in a Holiday Inn Express has more room than this. Why are governments allowing this sort of quality of life to be forced on citizens? Don't say 'cost per square foot,' it's a scam and can be regulated away.

Nice to see some brick and sympathy to the other buildings on this street. Who designed this one at aA? It doesn't have Peter Clewes' usual egomania, monomania and passive aggression. Material choices will likely be the usual aA cheap garbage, but one can hope!

I love the scale of this building - it's a human-sized structure, and the podium collaborates well with the rest of the streetscape. Hopefully the materials will be high quality. There's a high-likelihood that zig-zag frippery on the exterior expression will make this building look dated very soon.

Raglan is rapidly becoming one of the least hospitable streets in the area. Doesn't anyone think of building neighbourhoods anymore? It's only more filing cabinets to store people in tiny little boxes.

Holy crap - what a downgrade. I can understand the need to go with higher density, and twelve stories is perfectly appropriate for this site, but what happened to the design? This is design by balance sheet: cram as many tiny units into the cheapest block feasible to build on the site. Really...

I love Partisans work. The bonus is that this building does not overwhelm the street, even though 8 Elm is going to 97 storeys or whatever it's doing. Let's hope the developers don't suddenly want to triple the height.
