The renderporn/design looks appalling. By Sirlin Giller & Malek Architects

 

[ProjectEnd]

Agreed. Thoroughly terrible.

Oh do I see grey EIFS panels mixed in with some old facade and the black brick? Yeah time to move to Brampton.

Oof, that's terrible. That whole stretch of Bloor from Shaw to Lansdowne is one of my favourite parts of town, albeit in the 'messy urbanism' vein that so many on the forum disparage. I'm happy to see more density but this is an awful mishmash of bad materials. The way it addresses the corner is dreadful.

Revised images.

 

[UrbanFervour]

It's heinous. But at least the EIFS doesn't start until the second floor anymore. Wonder why half the ground floor bloor elevation is brick & not glazing. And no signage.... Sigh.

Can we please just have the 2011 version of property instead: https://www.google.ca/maps/@43.6616...!2e0!5s20111001T000000!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1

Seems to be some action on site...

From what I remember, the original rendering for this was pretty crap. Hope there's some chance out there that they might be going with a new design.

Would be good to finally see this get going though. The corner building has been left decrepit for so long. 5 storeys here is solid.

I couldn't find any info for this on TGA Group's website:

Refresher for that unfortunate rendering.

I hear a vacuum pump somewhere off sucking the soul out of this lot when I look at that. /bleh

 

[Towered]

Horrendous. And in such a visible spot on a main street too. Clearly a shameless developer.
