Beg to differ, considering the building program required the removal of a principal facade on the west side of the building - this isnt like 5ive where the sides of the building with minimal architectural features got removed. I suspect it would have fared a lot better under a MLS model.

I would assume that it would have been much harder or near to impossible to build a 20.000 seat stadium under the postal building roof/footprint...
As compared to a total gut of MLG to build a supermarket/ice rink....

MLS model = condos on top of a base. Not talking about MLG here.

Neat photos of 'south-core' in the nineties there. I really like 80s/90s pictures, I think it's because that's when I was growing up and I've forgotten mostly what it looked like down there.

Awesome shot, that last one!

You can really clearly see one of the Ice towers' footprint. Talk about slim :O

ya, the curved footprint is fully visible from up there!... as for the geometry of the tower. i hope the balconies look good.. the shape is sorta rectangular with curved sides.. but not fully circular

2006 vs. 2011

I just found this old photo from when I first moved to Toronto in 2006. What an amazing difference to today!

[Miscreant]

Yeah, it was pretty bare before not too long ago. I guess I forgot how it looked, exactly.

 

[vegeta_skyline]

That change is nothing compared to what it'll look like in another 5 years.

 

[Miscreant]

Yeah, I know, I look forward to it.

Given the recent series of incidents involving two of their condominium developments, the leadership team at Lanterra have discussed impact opportunities to strengthen their already well established reputation. The state of construction at Ice Condominiums at York Centre and their attention to quality will remind their competitive set that this ultra luxury flagship development will accomplish that vision.

With regards to the renderings of the roof planes made available to the public, the final architectural plan from aA which feature a more distinctive and enclosed mechanical level will further explain their application for increased elevation beyond the two residential levels.

Ooh, when are we going to see the final plan?
