LOVE the colour (holding out hope it's not value engineered down). Terra cotta red is gorgeous!

Charles Street has changed a TON in the past 15 years. Completely mammoth towers down the entire stretch from Ted Rogers Way to Yonge now.

Interesting...........there's an extra property listed in addition, to 15 Charles..................16 Isabella.

An outline of the assembly as described in the City's AIC:

Note that I drew over a section of public lane between the 2 properties as said lane does not serve any other properties.

In seeing that, I believe (but don't know...) that this represents on-site parkland acquisition

Certainly, the Isabella fronting property is only ~20ft wide, it would seem a bit odd to extend a sliver of a building that far south.

This would appear to strand 14 Isabella, unless that property is redeveloped in conjunction with the Yonge Street properties.



.

I hope the bar/restaurant Ehwa at 16 Isabella can move to a new spot close by.

IBI really copy-and-pasting their 8 Wellesley design here. It’s nice though, but a bit disappointing to see two similar looking towers in a similar area with just the colour changed. Although, it’s certainly more interesting than the other buildings on Charles E.

the 75 degree angular plane is going to make most designs along Yonge Street seem the "same". It's really an insanely silly policy.

WOW WOW AND WOW!! I love when Northern Light says docs are up!! Another surprise today with two gorgeous towers being proposed! Love the rustic orange columns of this facade! It adds flavor to the mostly blue, green, black and white buildings in the niebourhood! And would be even more pleasant sight to see if it were at a super-tall status!

Absolutely love the look of this, but i'm not holding my breath whatsoever. We've been fooled dozens of times, and I wont fall for it again.

I really hope we dont get Toronto'ed.

 

[UtakataNoAnnex]

That's super smexy...

...better get it into the ground before they try to neuter and spay it though. >.<

 

[Johnny Au]

That condo will truly be a stunner!

Here's hoping that it doesn't end up becoming white, grey, green, blue, or covered in EIFS.

nah. It’ll be the skyscraper equivalent of Victorians in Cabbagetown. It will look cool when done in volume.

Sleek and stylish. Let's hope it doesnt get value engineered.
