This makes for a much more vibrant streetscape than a stubby halfhearted 3 story podium with a 50 story tower set back from the street.

Of course, Honest Eds was irreplaceable but the alternative could have been something awful like the 20 Maitland proposal.

Anybody can confirm they will use different colour window systems/frames depending on the brick finishes colours?

Or is there a chance we may get some sort of grey across the board. The renderings seem to be purposely noncommittal.

The City of Toronto invites you to learn more about the new park being designed at the former Honest Ed’s site and surrounding Mirvish Village, as part of a new mixed-use residential development.

A concept design has been developed, which is informed by previous stakeholder and commmunity input. Staff are hosting a virtual public meeting to present the concept design for further feedback and invite community members to share their own perspectives and priorities.

Learn more about this project at Toronto.ca/MirvishPark.

Pre-register for this event now, or check back here for the meeting link on March 25, 2021.
 
That stretch of Bloor West isn't wide enough for 2 lanes of traffic, 2 sidewalks, 2 bike lanes, plus on street parking. Eventually that on street parking will have be eliminated for wider sidewalks. Even then, the sidewalks are going to be a little stingy.

I'm obsessed with the fact they've used different textures and styles at the pedestrian level. More large developments in the city should take queues from this project in how to keep the pedestrian realm interesting. It is far better than an extended pattern or form that extends full blocks.

And also way better than a flat expanse of curtain wall glazing, which ruins a lot of otherwise competent designs.
