Toronto Ten York Street Condos | 224.02m | 65s | Tridel | Wallman Architects

I just heard that since Tridel has reached the top of Ten York, they have reassessed the construction schedule and updated to a Final Tentative Occupancy Date. I heard the date got pushed out further though.

From August 2018 - to February 2019 depends on floor level.

Gido, there's been lingering hope of something, ( anything almost ), to crown this upswinging 65 story infill project. Here's hoping the developer is holding out for the big surprise.

December 11, 2017: Taken from the 35th floor of 1 York Street.

Tridel testing its new sabre light feature yesterday for the first time. Quite impressive.

LOL ... The "sabre" lights seen above are simply a reflection of the fluorescent lights in the room I was standing in when I took this picture.

It was a proposed box, but you never know this might have looked better

Agreed. This building is a disaster!

This is far from a disaster in my opinion. A missed opportunity for bold colour on the skyline, but all in all I think this is a pretty nice addition.

 

[TheKingEast]

Yea, it's a decent building but that IMO is the problem. This address should not be a "decent" building. It's just another missed opportunity. The buildings over here just blend into one another. A sea of blue/grey.

And I consider it to be a fabulous signature building, distinct and vastly more attractive than the glass boxes of downtown. Soon to be an iconic tower, recognizable to all coming downtown Toronto. Sorta like L-Tower, but sans the permanent crane and plywood windows 3 years after occupancy. Bravo, Tridel.

We can all have our opinions on this thread, but I have to question it being a " signature building ". It can pass for a decent, anonymous building, unless shilling for Tridel is the point - they might appreciate the support.

 

[stjames2queenwest]

Anonymous is a bit of a stretch. I don’t think anything in this spot at this height could pass as anonymous. Whether one likes the building or not.

I don't work for Tridel, don't know anyone who works for Tridel, don't know anyone who knows Tridel, don't own property in a Tridel building, no one I know owns property in a Tridel building, haven't bought in a Tridel building and won't be buying any Tridel product. Think that covers all the bases.

The Flatiron Building became a Toronto feature over the last 125 years. In my humble and uninformed opinion, the shape, location, height and unavoidable presence of the tower in downtown will serve it well. But wadda I know?

You most definitely are entitled to your opinion, but calling this property a " a fabulous signature building " needs a response. But what do I know ?

There are a clutch of buildings in the immediate area that are roughly of the same height. Given the colour of its glass, it's fair to describe it as at least somewhat anonymous. It blends in - all too well, even - and that's far from what one would ascribe to a "signature" building.

That said, that razor-wedge podium serves it well, gives it some distinction. As it climbs though, it's just another glassy sprout in an area of similarly glassy sprouts.

 

[bmiller]

Well said. Kinda the same, a little different, but not by much.

He said signature building, but ones opinions on location and design don’t always warrant a response for others. But maybe to see it from there eyes. I get this all the time. Until I see the crown I have yet to fully judge how it’s really going to look on the skyline. That part for my self, is what will hopefully bring the whole building together. Is it fabulous to me, No. But she’s a nice filler if anything. This area looks much nicer at street level now. And with the rest it’s a nice feel when heading towards the lakefront. It opens right up from huge towers all around. Comming together quite nicely again in my opinion.

Agreed. This building is a disaster!

Which iteration are you referring to? If you are referring to what is being built, then I disagree on both statements. The only reason why I could like Harbour Plaza is that it makes TEN YORK look even nicer.
