Why don't you guys just contact Mizrahi and ask him?
i'm not a pro here, but could the added residential floors be added where the mechanical rooms are and then the mechanical areas buried between floors? It would look worse in my opinion but is that an option or just not possible?
As an owner in One King, I can confirm this to be true. We have done extremely well the past number of years, then Covid hit.................I believe that was One King West https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_King_West_Hotel_&_Residence " Each suite in the hotel is individually owned, but the profits are shared amongst suite owners who have placed their suites in the hotel pool. Similar projects are usually seen in resort towns. The individual owners of the units in the building financed the purchase of the common assets of the hotel and now control the company that manages the hotel operations "
There are other things to consider as well with this addition of 9 floors:
I don't see this happening unless they started this design knowing they'd have a height increase in the works. As in, they have a second set of designs for the building with the increased height that they can switch to if needed.
- Is the current design able to handle the increased loads associated with a 10% increase in height? Structural, wind, etc.
- The number of elevators to reliably service the extra floors. There would be a fire requirement to how many occupants a single elevator can service.
- All the additional amenities and services (gas, water, electricity, etc) for these extra floors.
- The fact that the elevators are probably already being manufactured at the current height. The increased height would necessitate a substantial redesign.
To be fair the original hanger design render did have an extra 2 hanger sections above the current top hanger section but if I'm remembering correctly, the 2 hangers were removed due to shadow concerns. Let me go see if I can dig that original render up.
Is the proposal for the additional storeys being done through a minor variance application and are the materials on AIC? I missed post where this revision became public.
Can't they do that by adding a spire? That might be easier to get approved.they're trying to beat Pinnacle's height
Today there is a new section of one super column installed. View attachment 291493View attachment 291494View attachment 291495View attachment 291496View attachment 291497View attachment 291498View attachment 291499
