Toronto Art Shoppe Condos | 98.75m | 28s | Freed | a—A

The Art Shoppe signs on the side of the building were removed. They are also painting the building white for some reason. It looks much better than the dirty concrete it was before.

It's a marble chip aggregate that used to sparkle in the sunlight.

Mods, time for an official thread title change perhaps?

Art Shoppe Condos to follow on twitter. Condos + Lofts.

Art Shoppe condo posters are up in the windows in the building. I guess it's the sales center.

Talk about Fern Gully, at the base, in the first rendering.

You can say that again! Those ferns at the bottom completely disorientated me for a second, I didn't know which way was Yonge street!

I like it, it is different. This will be the first building you see looking north to the Yonge-Eglinton intersection.

Looks great. Kind of like 75 portland.

They're not actually ferns. I just mentioned Fern Gully because it looks like a rainforest down there.

I like this is even better. This is perhaps my favourite aA design to date. This should be pretty incredible. I just wish it could go ahead at the original height; any chance this could change again, given the increase at 2221 Yonge st, and the even taller 1 Elginton (I believe that is the address of the HP tower on the corner?)?

Interesting to see aA responding to the new vision-glass coverage regulations in the city. Glad to see them exploring various methods of cladding, unlike various other firms in the city which are turning to spandrel glass as the solution.

It's strange that the website says this: "This proposed "mixed commercial-residential redevelopment" will boast two towers of 38 (North Tower) and 29 (South Tower) storeys respectively with shared common 6-storey base at 2131 Yonge Street just south of Eglinton Avenue West in Toronto. The retail Art Shoppe store will be demolished for The Art Shoppe Condos to accommodate retail use space on the 1st and 2nd floors with floors 3 to 5 for residential units and amenity space located on the 6th floor. The North Tower will include a proposed restaurant on the 38th floor with outdoor patio seating."

Then there is this (32 & 29 Storeys):

I guess they forgot to update heights of the buildings?

Those renderings look amazing. I'd be happy to see more designs akin to this.

 

[condovo]

Amazing renderings. As good as 8 Cumberland is bad.

Rooftop restaurant? LOVE THIS!

Wish Parade in CityPlace had done this with the skybridge.
