Toronto The Gloucester on Yonge | 147.82m | 44s | Concord Adex | a—A

The two Locust on Gloucester? I'm used to trees where it takes two or three people to hug it. I don't know off hand what the city's minimum diameter is before they take control of the tree's future regardless if it's on public or private property. I'm assuming it's more than a foot.

For those interested, there is a lengthy tree declaration form with the submitted documents for this project which can be found on the city's website.

It is 30 cm in diameter taken 1.4 m above the ground.

Just found these forums. I live right across the street from this development and while I can say that I'm happy to see that building razed to the ground the noise every day starting at 7 might end me. Hopefully this noisy stage doesn't last too long.

I echo what others have said about the street level design - pretty sterile, I much prefer what they did down the road with the heritage buildings or at St. Nicholas street where they built a new "old" building.

We haven't yet seen a high-res rendering of the final version of the podium… but the low res one appears to show a lot more going on than the original proposal, so here's hoping it's not all undifferentiated glass!

Welcome to the Forum @jotor8!

That black and white tower in the background is brutal.

That black and white tower in the background is brutal.

Yeah, it's hideous.

 

[FrozenFury]

The second floor (and the "A Touch of Class Wedding Photo & Video" sign are finally all gone

Also, a 70s(?) painted design on the ajoining building has now been partially uncovered.

That black and white tower in the background is brutal.

It's worse, it's actually brown on top and beige on the lower ⅔.

Yep, that's my gym. Thankfully they were able to relocate in the core, still tough to see all the retail on Yonge being obliterated. While the Aroma across the street is fine it feels like we are losing something.
