Toronto Residences at the RCMI Condos | 134.72m | 42s | Tribute | Zeidler

Looks like marketing for this project is well underway.

From monkeyronin at SCC:

Given the close proximity to universities and mega healthcare, these units should be a synch to rent out.
 
Boomers such as myself - who live in traditional low rise neighbourhoods close to downtown, enjoy the cultural life of the city, and will retire soon - would probably consider downsizing into a condo that's as centrally located as this one.
 
WHOAH!... I never knew about this project till now :eek:

The building looks really nice considering it's small lot :)

University Ave needs some height and i think this building looks great!

***The renders in the video are some of the best i've seen!
 
Thats a great video, very nice rendering job. Does anybody know by change an architectural animation program commonly used for videos like this or 1 Bloor's?

Design-wise, it's unfortunately sterile - almost miserable. I really like the presence it will have and the massing, but it's just so gloomy. It took a lecture from Alsop to make me realize this. There are way too many careful and colourless designs these days. We need more fun in our lives!

I think this would be a great spot for a Gansevoort-style building ;)
 
I guess I did it the other way around. I work in North York but live downtown... At least I'm always going in the opposite direction of rush hour.
 
Why would anyone consider buying one of the lower north-facing units?

Some possibilities:

-Vampires who hate sunlight.
-Agoraphobics afraid of open spaces.
-Anthropologists studying human behavior in an office environment.
-Or perhaps NASA astronauts rehearsing for months of confined living on a Mars expedition.

I'm sure other forumers can think of more.

:p

-Exhausted interns seeking a few hours of shut-eye.
-Performance artists desperate for an audience.

judging by size of the units I guess you can say this building will be one giant frathouse?
