Appealed to the OMB based on the City's failure to render a decision on the application within the allotted time.

City Council at this meeting has voted to attend the OMB to oppose the proposal in its current form, but that in the meantime the City continue to negotiate with the proponent to resolve the issues the Planning Department has with it.

Revised and uglier,.... these towers will remind you to never wear white belts with dark pants!,.... shorter tower chopped to 12-storey, podium eliminated,....

Even the McDonald's that was demolished across the street was more aesthetically pleasing.

You gotta be kidding me, this is awful. I don't even care if the intersection is less than ideal for some, or that the plaza isn't so successful for some shops, IMO the existing area is setup with a better contribution to the area than what this would bring. This retail is used by a couple thousand people every week, although this being built can't be incredibly surprising with its great location next to a future transit station.

UGH horrible, horrible horrible.

I never thought I would become a nimby, but I will become one if this is the final design.

Very horrible and uninspired.The color is bad choice and there is no harmony at all in the building.
When these architects will learn to draw a normal building?
Shame to them !

 

[Consilium]

What ticks me off the most is not the lower section but how the south side of the upper floors of the west tower looks like.

The picture quality looks something out of the 60's or 70's.

Found this on the Dev App site:

Chopped from originally proposed 19 and 13 storeys,..... and now down to 16 and 11 storeys (via OMB),.... now it'll be short and ugly.

 

[GenerationLee]

Hmm, still tall-ish for the area, nearby buildings don't really go past 10 stories unless you go west on Eglinton.

 

[WislaHD]

I'm not optimistic about this one at all. The drop in height leaves me indifferent in face of the design.

 

[WislaHD]

When should this one enter sells phase?
