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

What are you basing this prediction on?

 

[maestro]

Yeah, They already chopped a tower from the proposal. I don't think it was done on a whim either.

"Don't it always seem to go..."

 

[maestro]

No it doesn't. Only the losses get remembered. Guess it serves a purpose.

I don't think the sewers etc can handle the volume of 1600 units proposed on Yonge St, between Bloor and Queen street. I heard somewhere that they're supposed to put the brakes on some of these huge projects on Yonge. Correct me if I'm wrong I love skyscrapers if they're built in good taste!

 

[maestro]

Well, There's also a 1600 room hotel occupying the site. Nothing remotely that large has yet to be torn down for condos in this city.

 

[Strange Advance]

No it doesn't. Only the losses get remembered.

I suppose there is some truth to that.

I m not sure it going to get build with that height and density.
The only thing that i approve is the green space.There isa lack of that in this district.
But for the architectural expression, they can do a better job.
I prefer to stay optimistic.

Water, sewer, electrical supply is always taken into account when building plans are circulated. @maestro's right though: there are already 1600 hotel rooms on site which would come down, so I would be very surprised if the capacity was not there.

Remember that where talking about 1600 condo units to start in the area that people will live in 24 -7 , with each one requiring water for daily kitchen, bath and laundry use !

Not much different from the existing hotel, apart from laundry. And remember that units in both residential buildings and in hotels are never full 24-7. Comparisons of peak hours would be the key here, which I think are the same: morning showers, lights on in evening, etc.

Hotel laundry may actually be more frequently utilized than personal laundry.

On the City's Application Information Centre site, they've posted a copy of the detailed functional servicing report for this proposal, which was updated to address the first round of comments on it by the City. There is nothing to suggest that there will be servicing issues.

This development (along with YSL) will be absolutely transformative for the skyline here. Very exciting.

I don't know how much influence Jennifer Keesmat has on the approval end of things, but she is adamantly opposed to such rapid density increases along the Yonge st. corridor. She appears to ready to fight
tooth and nail against these newer tall proposals until the infrastructure is updated. This means many years before these ever get approved at the height they are proposed at. This is her opinion, and i have
no idea if this falls in line with her cohorts, but expect to hear demands to have these proposals be drastically reduced in size, at least by Jennifer.
