Toronto Regent Park: Phases 4 and 5 | 134.1m | 39s | Tridel | Karakusevic Carson Architects

I know this sounds strange, but I wouldn't mind if they kept one of these apartment building as a heritage/museum piece. In my young teenage years I had a few friends living in these complexes, and so I spent quite a bit of time in the area.

Please no. These complexes were a huge urban design mistake and do not need to be retained. Pictures are good enough.

^How about a nice commemorative plaque and we’ll call it a day?!

Unexpected demolition over here…

 

[hawc]

Huh. That is odd. Wonder why that building is being demolished ahead of everything else in that block?

I'll take that Coke machine if no one wants it.

I think that this building used to be used by TCHC for their maintenance operations. I assume it is no longer used and it has looked abandoned for a while.

Imprint of where the buildings used to be.

One more to go.

This last building seems to be taking awhile.

From today's article -

19- and 39-Storey Towers Proposed as Part of Regent Park Phase 4 | UrbanToronto

The latest proposal for the Regent Park Revitalization calls for 19- and 39-storey towers in Phase 4, designed by gh3 for Tridel, Deltera, and Toronto Community Housing Corporation.

urbantoronto.ca

Block 4B = 19-storey building w/ 367 residential units
Block 4C = 11 + 39 storeys, w/ 550 residential units
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL UNITS (4B + 4C) = 917 residential units

I can't find the details in AIC -- so not able to say what the proposed unit-split is on TCH Social Units / Rental Units / Condo Units, etc in those blocks.

Not public-facing yet.

UT cheated, LOL

Though, maybe someone should have told @Paclo that he was supposed to populate the and create the thread for these, as the links were put into the Front Page Story that don't work.

That looks pretty smart. Much depends on the cladding materials but I like the variety and design nuance depicted here.
