Toronto 64 Prince Arthur | 46.1m | 13s | Forgestone | RAW Design

[Downtown Toronto]

At 64 Prince Arthur and Bedford, which Adi pledges to be ‘skinny and tall in a beautifully sculpted way.’ An original 29-storey design is now being modified to a lower height in the 20s so as to fit into the surrounding neighbourhood, he says.

Figures that the height would be reduced.

Ah, The Toronto Sun, an esteemed establishment

Haha, fake news

Is it really necessary to object to the publication when the information they are posting, in this instance, is innocuous?

When it comes to the Toronto Sun the answer is a strong YES!

Casual reminder that even the likes of Steve Munro submit editorials in the Toronto Sun every now and then.

I'd build as is... perfect for Prince Arthur which is pretty but well-stocked with slabs. Why not have a little tower with class/ design and only 60 units? The only traffic issue would be the slight increase in Ferraris, Lambos and Porche (cheap units). Someone has to stand up for the homeless rich/entitled buyers looking to enhance the Yorkville myth.

Actually like the building.

To me 64 Prince Arthur and One Delisle are the two best building proposals in town
both stunning

^can't believe they knocked 4 floors off One Delisle (some ill-considered height precedent mitigation attempt for Yonge/St.Clair). There are many opportunities for planning to shave a towers to fit some convoluted (lack of plan) that remains a mystery despite the boilerplate babble...

But when gifted with a rare design gem (with no major negative impacts).... planning staff please go to lunch and come back smarter... and green light asap.

If an informal point system exists on the over-worked planning section ... traffic, shadows, pedestrian realm et al... it clearly offers no accommodation or points for great design.

I want the 4 floors back for this beautiful, skinny artichoke.

They've gotta get their pound of flesh.

Completely new design on this. 19 storeys and 178 units:

Well, that is a tremendous disappointment. What a shame. It's not that the new design is terrible, it's that the old one had such a big, bold personality. This is a sour downward lunge for the safety of utter blandness.

We have such a balcony addiction that I first thought this was an office building.

If we had not seen the original proposal, we'd be all over this one, which actually is quite attractive. That said, I understand the disappointment that the original vision is not going ahead.
