Toronto Casa II Condos | 184.09m | 56s | Cresford | a—A

Here's a look at what's there now. This is almost mid-block between Yonge & Church.

Um... so basically a taller version of Casa?

I had been expecting something a bit more original.
 
It appears to be a 54 storey tower on a 4 storey podium and not a 58 storey tower on a 4 storey podium as described in the application - for a total of 58 floors (not 62) :(

This picture illustrates how these wire drawings don't do a good job of portraying what the final product will look like. It seems like this will be a taller knock-off of Casa 1 - a building almost universally loved on this forum and yet look at the negative reaction to Casa 2!

I personally think they should design something completely different. The original Casa is an OK building but I think one is enough on our skyline.
 
I was hoping for something different too, but in the end are two Casa's really a bad thing?
