Can't wait to see this building rise above the podium towards the tower section. Then watch the developers attach the curtain walls up. Let's make this a supertall instead of Mirvish's supertall towers.

Well no supertall here but one of the towers was originally proposed @ 67 storeys and close to 200 meters until the city chopped it to 57s/157 meters
...gee how times .change

The City (the Planning Department) fought this, saying that Mercer wasn't the right street for such dense development. They don't have final say, however, which typically rests with the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (and which was at the time of this development the OMB) when developers want to fight the City's position. There are now stricter guidelines in place to provide more space between buildings, but developments of this size take years to be realized, so it will be some time before all construction reflects the reality of current policy.

While nobody has a right for a maintained view I believe the spacing and lack of sunlight at the lower levels is an issue for a city wanting to be world class... One may ask are we creating high end slums?

It would be great to double the building's heights. Add a skybridge as well.

Yes guys I remember the height thing from the past. But would like to see the O look happen with the sky bridge.

How about quintupling the buildings' heights and adding 87 skybridges??

We all know that's not going to happen! But it's just a pipe dream yeah just a pipe dream !

 

[Torontovibe]

Speaking of sky-bridges, while I do like the bronze colour of this development, I much prefer the original design, with the bridge on top.

A sky-bridge would look nice, but I'm not sure what the function would be since the towers already share a podium, unless you mean apartments inside the sky-bridge rather than just a path

Lower floors will barely get any sun.

Is this where the Mercer club used to be or am I mistaken?

The lack of setbacks in Nobu and the surrounding buildings is 100% a detriment.
