Imagine what an impact this 264 meter/1.1 million sq. ft skyscraper is going to have in this area.
I am certain you are thinking of the built form impact, which is already huge! I can't walk in my nabe anymore without seeing Aura peeking from all corners. From my perspective though, I am hoping Aura balances the local demographic. The Yonge Gerrard area is currently loaded up with cheap eateries, but no patios, bistros, and few restaurants other than chains at Dundas. I'd have thought MET and Burano would encourage a shift, but the demographic in these condos is dominated by student/early career, and so the eateries persist. Bring on the upgrades! Oh, and bring back the hotdog cart...my Saturday morning breakfast hasn't been the same since construction started.
