Toronto Grand Hotel Redevelopment | 153.95m | 49s | Amexon | Core Architects

I kinda agree, this building isn't that awful, I just find it kinda blank or uninspiring. It just needed a revamp to better integrate the podium to the neighborhood and to improve the cladding.

I think it'll be missed once it's gone, even if in general I'm not a proponent of the brutalist architecture.
 
Today. The end is near.

Guess this would be the first 500ft./150m+ build with a Jarvis Street address?

That First Nations mural is stunning (lucky to have 3 gorgeous Del Ashkewe prints hanging in the living room).
 
Sadly, next to nothing from that era will survive as it's currently viewed as ugly.

There is a large stock of institutional buildings from that era that will likely stay around; larger commercial structures (e.g. Sheraton) probably won't be going either. It's the small/medium commercial stock that is probably most at risk at demolition/redevelopment.

Does anyone know how tall the grand hotel building will be? It also seems to be on the St.mikes helicopter path.
