Toronto The Berczy | 41.76m | 13s | Concert | Arcadis

I'm hoping you'd tell me. 7-8 figures?

It was very expensive. Not every project can command 7-8 figures. And when it does you get superior materials, architecture etc.

It's easy to say the Berczy "should have looked like 36 Hazelton" but Hazelton is one of the most expensive buildings in the city.
 
And yet 36 Hazelton looks like garbage! Take an existing attractive building, "wreck it" and put up a bland beige dated design. Great.

A better price to design ratio building to compare the Berczy to would be The Brant Park, Parc Lofts or River City. All sold for around the same $PSF yet have much superior design/aesthetics/architecture.

That's a matter of taste. River City is awesome. Brant Park and Parc Lofts, not my thing. However, I think the Bercy will command much higher prices on the resale market.

Also, the building that was "wrecked" at 36 Hazelton was hardly attractive. I'm actually happy it went down and something else replaced it.

That's interesting. One of the new buildings in the Distillery also marks the original shoreline.
The recently announced art competition for Union Station (to commemorate the Walks and Gardens Trust) is also to celebrate the old shoreline and the Heritage Plan for St Lawrence recommended that all the streets from Cherry to Yonge should have a commemoration of it.
