This really looks like it got worse to me. The tower in the north side was great. I wonder why an L shape around the church wasn’t pursued with a tower matching up against Tartu next door?

I see they happen to have some of the cladding material left from 60 Colborne. No complaints, as that project turned out great!

Oooooh the materiality on this is so nice. I'm really liking the new street level portion around the side too.

I’m not liking the removal of some portions of the church. There is plenty of room on site to keep the church entirely intact.

Really? I always thought the church looked clumsy. It's hard not to focus on the addition ruining the facade.

I also agree that the church should also be retained to its greatest extent if they're stuffing a 'modern' church into the base of the tower- Toronto is already a city that's lacking great interior spaces. This is coming from someone who usually supports facadism with heritage commercial and residential structures.
That being said, if the project would propose the demolition of the current sanctuary and the reconstruction of the pre-1954 sanctuary within the tower, that could be something I could get behind.

What?.. in 3 months
Read the Commerce Court 3 thread for an explanation. This is only being held for later in the meeting… and now it is being held by Mike Layton for some reason. The part of it referring to the heritage alterations has been adopted.

This has now been adopted with amendments that concerned use by community facilities within the redevelopment by the Annex Seniors Adult Services. Quite minor.
