Hickory Tree Tower is a 25-story residential/retail building that will fit harmoniously within the existing context of tall buildings along the Weston Road corridor in Toronto. The development site is steps from Union-Pearson train station and a short 14-minute train ride to downtown core. The Weston Road corridor is recognized by the City of Toronto as a potential location for residential intensification.

I'll be shocked if this gets built as currently proposed, looks way to good to be true.

No additional renders beyond what's posted above.

Landscape Plan is solid, trees in good conditions, but nothing visually exciting to post.

Well, that's definitely less interesting than the first iteration. A more blandly modest design.

Ah there we go we're getting back to reality, now we just need one more revision (which i'm sure is coming soon enough) and we'll be back to our regular bland Toronto scheduled programming.

There's some potential with the shape and profile of the tower, but it's pretty disastrous when looking closely at the details of this spandrel turd-fest.

This one is the subject of an Appeals Report to the next meeting of EYCC:

https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2023/ey/bgrd/backgroundfile-235006.pdf

Summary: Too tall, floor plates too large, not sufficiently transitional, too much shadowing.
