Not to sound cruel but is it nice though? The cantilevering boxes are very interesting but overall it looks like an older office building at Yonge and St Clair

Yup, it's definitely a reference to International Style, so it depends if that pushes retro buttons for you or not.

Another large condo tower could be plopped down in Rosedale

A 19-storey mixed-use building is being proposed for the Rosedale neighbourhood on Yonge adding another large building to the area

Local councillor Mike Layton said the proposal is a bit more aggressive than city staff would want but there is talk to move an adjacent Green P parking lot to underneath the building, opening up the surface lot for a new park that would be a significant size.

“That’s a pretty good outcome,” he said. “Not to say the height is correct.”

Nevertheless, Layton said a tall mid-rise was instep with how the city expects the area to grow. A 10-storey building is in the works across the street at 1140 Yonge St., and a 21-storey building called The James at Scrivener Square a little north has already been approved, which means three corners of the intersection will be under constructed or newly constructed in the next three to four years, Layton said.

ABC Residents Association co-president Ian Carmichael said that the proposal at 1087 Yonge St. is beyond what current planning policies envisioned, voicing concern the view corridor up the street of the clock tower may be impacted.

The James, in comparison, is set back from Yonge St. to protect that view corridor in Rosedale, while initial mock up images of the Sleep Country site don’t show much of a set back, which Carmichael said planning policies hope to avoid.

“At first glance, this development is certainly far in excess of what we would expect,” he said, noting that the building height allowed in the current policy framework is about 20 metres, while this proposal calls for over 66 metres.

A preliminary report of the proposal will be presented to community council as the next step for the development.

This one has had yet another resubmission, and with that, a hair cut too. Now 15s.

The appearance has changed as well, and in my judgment, not for the better. I had issues w/the previous design, but at least it was a-A clean

Now, vestiges of KirKor loom.

Forestry will have a fit when they see the soil volume calculations for the trees. That will have to change!

at 21m2 of soil per tree, they'll all be dead in 5 years.

it's lacking any colour and character for the Summerhill neighbourhood. @Northern Light
