I have never earned a penny from anything real estate nor architecturally related in Toronto. That could change someday...can't live like a pauper forever

I worry that any changes might result in a BSN/Casa mutant so as long as Cresford doesn't cheap out and they look as sharp as Casa then I'm down with two more of them
There's Isabella & Yonge S/E corner (proposed), Gloucester just east of Yonge on the north side (approved) and Gloucester & Yonge S/E corner (proposed)

Copy and paste again. I hope this is the last in the Casa series.
As you can see from the top of the thread, there's now a dataBase page and Real Estate thread for this project. Nighttime rendering of the project too on the dBase page.

It's kind of funny how they emphasized those 4 columns in every single rendering to give the facade some texture.

Design-wise, it is what it is. My hope is that this project will present a decent face to Hayden Street instead of treating it like a back alley.

Ouch! I thought this thread was left over from an April fools joke, but I'm disappointed to see it's for real. Do aA have any other keys on their keyboards other than CTRL-C & CTRL-V?

The decision to go with three riffs on a single theme was / is almost certainly client and not architect-driven.

No, aA's better than that; their keyboards have 'Command' keys with Apple logos on them, not CTRL keys.

Is there actually an office component with this one ??

I guess the real genius is that they don't have to draw any new plans - just change the name by adding another "I" and resubmit. Must save the developer some serious coin. Makes aA look more than a little unecessary.

No office as far as I know.
Project is in VVVVVVIP sales right now, starting around $700 PSF. Parking $65K.

So, we've been wondering what the top will look like, and how Casa III will fit in with Casa II. This roof plan answers both questions:
So the answers:
1) While Casa I features a mitre board and Casa II has the brush cut on top (you can see it on the left side of the image above), while Casa III is blowing bubbles through its flat top.
2) Both towers are situated mirror-like across from each other on either side of Casa II's water feature, which has now been expanded to fill the whole courtyard between it and Casa III. A walkway transports people above its middle to the back of the podium. Will this be office space? Retail? Separately accessed homes?
Casa III gets a much longer pool than Casa II.
There are a number of new images added to the Casa III dataBase entry. Check them out via the link at the top of the page.
