KILL IT before it lays eggs

 

[cd concept]

Today's a busy day with very tall skyscrapers perhaps supertalls on the Chelsea Green development wow!

 

[TossYourJacket]

You know it's gonna be a disaster when it's already an ugly spandrel-laden mess in the renderings. Truly not a single redeeming quality to this design. This is Design Haus levels of bad.

 

[Undead]

Concord is congenitally bad?

 

[ushahid]

i want to swear at Concord right now.

 

[Towered]

The best thing I can say is that it's not Ivy...

 

[Amare]

Remember the days people said they've gotten their act together with their "signature" project Canada House?

Concord is genuinely a POS developer so i'm not surprised they want to pay homage to the site by proposing a building that looks like it has herpes all over.

 

[ProjectEnd]

Canada House / Signature is pretty good though. It's a Janus-faced developer, this. At the end of the day, I think Gabriel just doesn't care that much about design so we can get IBI / Mansoor caring down at CityPlace, and Dialog / Simon not caring at all here.

The renderings are frighteningly honest about the spandrel-packed window wall cladding intended for this thing.

 

[canarob]

So there will be more balconies the higher and windier it rises?

 

[christiesplits]

Concord gonna Concord.

 

[UtakataNoAnnex]

Brass Rail is more of a service to this area than this grey aluminum backed junk bunk will be. That alone should be enough for The City to kill this proposal, IMO. /sigh

[andrewjm3d]

Can't we just kick Concord out of Toronto? They built OK stuff back in their hometown of Vancouver then came here and crapped all over our skyline. If this goes ahead as planned it will ruin all of the shots of One Bloor and the One.

Concord is a horrible builder. They use the cheapest and ugliest materials. All their units are littered with bulk heads with layouts that are not livable. Concord builds for profit not for livability. We already gave this company prime real estate with CityPlace why is the city now letting them build on Canada's most famous street? I lived in a Concord building when it was brand new in the first block of move-ins - it only took 5 years from that date for the building to already look dirty, old and in disrepair.
