Toronto Beacon Condos | 124.66m | 35s | Sorbara | Wallman Architects

Regus is taking the second and third floor. So office rather than retail here.

Getting office space here certainly is good news!

3rd floor is only Yonge frontage being office; rear is residential condo

2nd floor ceiling height is huge even for office, comparing it to GibsonSquare next door, you could actually squeeze in a retail and residential floor!


Since we’re now getting office space here VS retail, I’m wondering of there’s someway EllieCondo to the north can get some “office credit” for it? The shorter of EllieCondo 2 tower was to be Centrium’s hotel but had to remain Commercial so G-Group EllieCondo converted it to Office-Condos. Then Ontario Liberal’s foreign ownership tax tanked that Office-Condo market which is why I suspect G-Group bailed and sold off to another developer. If the new developer were to somehow get some of Beacon’s “office credit” then EllieCondo instead of building 11-storey of Office-Condo might only be required to build 7 storey with 4-storey of residential condo (smaller footprint Vs Beacon) making it more marketable for new developer,.....

Another Wallman project lost in execution I guess.

Wow it really doesn’t look like the drawings at all, I am really really disappointed in all the white paneling, at some light it looks almost yellow and old. Does Wallman have a history of missing the mark? Let’s hoping that the insides look better but this was not what I was sold...

It's all about the developer, and what they'll pay for in the end. Final costing for cladding materials is done months, or more often years after the initial design from which the marketing renderings are created. Developers typically force a value engineering of the exterior to come up with something reminiscent of the marketing renderings at the lowest cost they can deliver it. The architect has little they can do to when the developer is calling for budget cuts.
