Toronto 241 Church | 170.7m | 53s | Graywood | Turner Fleischer

[Northern Light]

P.S. I don't have a pic of Calatrava's "spiral" tower for Toronto but I'm betting the design (1999/2000) was based on the sculpture Twisting Torso... as was Malmo's renowned "Turning Torso"... the Swedes were talking to him pretty much exactly the same time :-(

We need to find some kind of render for that, at least a good massing drawing. I remember there being one.........

Probably looked like this.

Is this skyscraper still technically in pre-construction? Or is it now considered to be under construction? If it is, or whenever it is, I'll add it to the 100 metre + thread list of completed/u/c towers.

Currently still in pre-con. It will need to get to 70% sales before Graywood pulls the trigger on construction. The above is just for the sales centre.

Thanks so much for your help, Project End!

That guy with the red backpack is the embodiment of every discouraged UTer, gazing numbly, arms at their sides. "This sh*t again..."

This one's going to block the view of Social from the north, so build baby, build!

And what if it turns out to be uglier than Social?

The renderings are not promising, and we all know that in Toronto 90% of the time the renderings are BETTER than the actual product

CentreCourt to the rescue... 252 Church will take care of the view from the west and 199 Church will help quite a bit for the view from the south.

I'm not liking the fact that three of the four corners will be blockaded with construction hoarding, especially for another TF/G+C investorbox condo.
