Toronto 55 Yonge | 236.21m | 66s | H&R REIT | PARTISANS

The base looks a bit like the old WTC twin towers in New York. I'm not sure I like the crown - reminds me of the St. Regis (ex Trump).

Not fooled by the early pretty renderings - can't wait for the value engineered (realistic) version. It seems like a pipe dream even for the parametric god Zaha. Suddenly Partisans and REIT think they can pull this off in Toronto?

The crown is very Trump-hotel-esque.

Love everything. The transition from the tower to the base and similar treatment near the top are especially nice. Hopefully it will progress without alteration.

Wow.

How often can you say that for a Toronto condo?

Haha - for a while I thought I mistyped, but you only quoted part of my reply (I said: "I'm not sure I like the crown", not "I like the crown"). I think it looks a bit tacky, both on the Trump / St. Regis and this proposal.

And another Dickinson bites the dust.

Judging from this example I’m going to assume his most prolific work could be found in East Berlin.

Boy, that's funny...

 

[cd concept]

This developer should create a similar style looking building on the Front St. A two for one price deal with the architect Ha Ha !! That's how nice this rendering is compared to the other one on Front st.

Wait for this building to get Torontofied by the City Planning committee who know absolutely nothing about world class architecture.

My apologies! I didn't mean to misquote you; I selected a little too much. Just wanted to say that I agreed with your observation of the crown similarities.

The second most overplayed trope after blaming City Planning is blaming the Design Review Panel.

Err...he never did any work outside of Ontario and Quebec.
