Toronto Musée Condos | 53.95m | 17s | Plaza | BDP Quadrangle

I hope they don't get this amount of height in the immediate area. This screams rental building.

What's so bad about that? The number of purpose-built rental buildings vs. condos is abysmal, especially in the King West area. A diversity of building stock is important for city building, giving people more housing options. There are people who would rather spend less renting an apartment unit instead of a condo unit, and using the money they are saving at the local businesses or towards their own savings, amongst many other reasons.
 
A dataBase entry for this project now exists, (linked at the top of this page), with many renderings that no-one has seen before. The renderings currently show a 17-storey building, so the thread title is being changed to reflect that.

FYI from Ward 20 Events:

Meeting about future public park on 525 Adelaide site
Date: February 03 2014
Time: 8:00 - 9:00 pm
Location: Metro Hall, 55 John St, Room 310

"Join Councillor Vaughan and the project team to provide your input about the design of this future public park in the Bathurst and Adelaide area.

As part of the development project at 525 Adelaide St W, the developers, Plazacorp, are building a public park on the east side of the site, which will be accessible through a walkway from Adelaide St W and open onto Adelaide Place.

This park is part of a public realm plan for the new developments on this large block, and is planned to be connected to a series of walkways and pedestrian connections to Portland, King, Adelaide and Bathurst."
 
Plaza has moved out of their sales centre here and it's being dismantled right now in preparation for construction start this spring.
