Basically it's to add the basement area of the Gooderham Mansion to the permitted retail space.

The Selby Mansion would make a great nightclub/bar!

Hmm, something seems familiar about that idea.

Holy overwhelming!

Holy overwhelming!

Slim down and add 20s...way too big,

It will be joined by three more towers approximately its height, within a block either way of it within the next half dozen years, one of which is under construction now. Throw some more in there, and it won't feel out-of-place. James Cooper Mansion will look more and more like James Cooper Shed though.

Most of what gets built these days isn't nearly as impressive as the mansion itself. http://www.maryamsuites.com/images/gallery/james-cooper-mansion/0011_JamesCooperMansion-stairs.jpg

It's actually quite slim if you shift the angle 90 degrees.

Holy overwhelming!

If anything is going to overwhelm the skyline, I'm glad it's this one.

 

[cd concept]

How can you hate it ! It's got that bold classic 60s & 70s look!

Always neat seeing cladding segments hanging from building slabs.
