Big update here w/April '24 resubmission.

Madison has splurged here, if they build this I will be impressed.

@ProjectEnd don't pop any bubbles yet. LOL

Redesigned in conjunction w/110 Eglinton

We have a front page story up here, covering both this site and the west site.

The elevator counts are quite good here: the west tower, with 648 units and the east tower with 681 units would each have 7 elevators, meaning 1 elevator for every 92.6 and 97.3 units respectively, comfortably under the 1 elevator per 100 unit threshold, promising good elevator service. Count me impressed.

This is not being built with 11 foot ceiling heights as much as I want a residential tower built with 11 foot ceiling heights. It's needed to get to 400 metres. I would not read too much into the elevator ratio.
 
After the rendering vs build debacle that is Nobu... I'm sure there are still plenty of forum members with trust issues when comes to Madison. 🤒

Kinda wish this was a JV with another developer with a better delivery track record (less VEing on the resume ;-).

I noticed this as well - 3.5m for average residential floor.

Not sure if that's to accommodate ME and structural transfers for the slender portion of the towers, though it looks like they have sizable columns on the exterior potentially carrying some load? Or it could be a density play to slip in a few floors through a minor variance within the same zoning envelope

Red towers! No podium! Is this really Toronto? Worry not, subsequent iterations will turn them into what we're more accustomed to.

Agreed i'm not holding my breath at all. I'm sure all that red will be stripped away with dark grey or black in very short order.
 
These two developments are interesting in their singular megaproject-esque visual impact, even through they eschew the blockbusting nature of said developments (In a past life, these developments would've probably sat upon a massive windowless podium!).
