The "wave" motif on the towers is cheesy - it looked bad on GC condo initial proposal and it looks bad here. AoD

At this point, I'll happily take some cheese over banality.

Chelsea Green? Where the F is the green here? Look a that public realm rendering. It's looks like a gloomy grey parking lot. For a developer looking for this much density, how on earth is this kind of approach to the public realm acceptable?

I've no idea

I've no idea

For one if the space is city-owned, good luck with achieving that manicured golf-green look.

Love it! Love it! Love it! Love it! Love it!

Thanks, Great Eage and aA!

I like the way the window frames are used to create visual pattern, I would however enjoy it more if the effect was more of a spiral circling up the tower rather than swirls/ vertical waves. Either way I think the approach will definitely add significant diversity.

 

[TheTigerMaster]

Don't really like the pattern along the building. Otherwise I like it. It's nice to see a proposal that isn't all-glass for once.

From the west and east, Aura had a big impact on our skyline. It extended the reach of the skyline north. These two towers will nicely compliment that.

 

[TheTigerMaster]

That cracked me up.

It wouldn't be Toronto without wooden hydro poles and hydro wires everywhere...

I'm still looking for the pigeons and their poop.

From the west and east, Aura had a big impact on our skyline. It extended the reach of the skyline north. These two towers will nicely compliment that.

And after Massey, Teahouse, YC, Wellesley On The Park, Clover on Yonge, etc.; are completed, the main skyline will be close to being united with the Yonge and Bloor cluster.

88 huh? Not geared to Chinese investors at all...

 

[maestro]

It's actually 98 in Chinese.

 

[UrbanLurker]

The design of the podium reminds me of "white boat" from Mapo District, Seoul. I like it, hope the material used will be high quality.

 

[ShaunTO]

I love it. This project just keeps getting better!

 

[cd concept]

I think they're going to chop all these proposed high structures down to the 50 to 60 stories range!
