Toronto 158 Sterling (Block 5B+C) | 130m | 39s | Marlin Spring | Giannone Petricone

[interchange42]

We have a submission for another one of the blocks in the Sterling Road and Perth Avenue area of the Junction Triangle, this one provisionally addressed to 158 Sterling, but which will no doubt change, possibly to have a Perth Avenue address when all is set out. This for what would rise on Blocks 5B, 5C, and the very skinny 5D which the title of this thread ignores, all shown on the image below:

Here, a 39-storey mixed-use building designed by Giannone Petricone Associates has been submitted to the City by Marlin Spring.

We have a front page story up about it here, with more info and pics, natch.

I feel like junction triangle could have been a really good nightlife/entertainment area because of the lack of residential land use.

The city needs more nightlife space that isn’t going to be hampered by complaints from nearby residents

Nice looking proposal though

Hmm, some confusion on what's across the street too. Marlin going back for more, perhaps?

 

[innsertnamehere]

odd. What document is that from?

What I don't understand about the whole plan is why the POPS in 3D is so cut off from Sterling and Hendersons. This layout of this proposal doesn't help that (and the already built beautiful, yet somewhat forboding buildings don't help either). It would've been a great opportunity to build a really great outdoor space there. Vendors, maybe some event space that tied in nicely to the MOCA.

This could've been an area that people would go out of their way to visit but, outside of Henderson's (which is really just a parking lot), it's all going to be quite uninviting.
