Interesting. I wonder if they’ll redesign and drop the height.

i dont know if they will drop the height or not but they will definitely drop the quality.

Technically with the current site state pretty much anything could be built however in reality much value and cost has already gone into the current design. Architectural costs going with a premium firm can account for 6-8% of total project cost. Significant cost has gone into planning, material procurement, marketing etc. Radically changing the design at this point would neutralize any value from these costs incurred. While I'm not a real fan of the current design I'm not going to hold my breath expecting something different.

What we all know for sure is this:
And from Bulloch:
So we've got at least 2 pieces of evidence that very strongly suggest Concord has bought the site.
1) They purchased property from Cresford associated with this site
2) They have been on site looking around.

Well I guess this site is pretty much a write off for any sort architectural quality and standard.
For those who think Aura across the street from this site is bad, just wait until Concord (speculation probably soon to be confirmed) gets their grimy hands on this.
Edit: I stand corrected, thanks Northern Light

Sapphire Tower did not morph into St. Regis..................it morphed into Index Condos.

I should probably go take my vitamins today.
Very true, I always get mixed up between the 2 sites somehow. Probably because of the rivalry thing a decade ago, wow time flies.

Or keeping same designs and city approval but expanding it to south towards 357A and 357 1/2 Yonge somehow which concord already own it.

Goodness, can you get blue/green cladding with kind of brain melting saturation?

This meets the blue (but not blue/green) criteria, I think:
The giant glass slipper church of Taiwan
A 16 metre-high glass shoe church has been built in Taiwan, apparently in a bid to attract more women. Why?

Come to think of it, maybe that pic of the Sapphire Tower shouldnt have been posted. We may have just given Concord an idea for their latest piece of garbage...

That's close enough though! Erecting something like that here using YSL dimensions would be like throwing holy water at a bunch of grey vampires...

Giving me hints of Union Centre. I've also never seen this version of Sapphire Tower, only the disco ball version.
