That has been Cityzen's sales office for a few years now. Backstage was sold from there.

The Sell Buy?

I guess Cityzen wants to move on their Front East &/or Pier 27 next phases asap.

good news - design is staying the same

Has anybody seen the model of this building? If the tower is anything like the model, the colour will be very different than the renderings. It's more like a dark burgundy to light brown colour. It's not as vibrant as the renderings, sadly, but it's still better than grey, so I'll take it.

Status report http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2015/te/bgrd/backgroundfile-74096.pdf

"Since Council considered the application, City staff have been in discussions with the applicant regarding changes to the Section 37 provisions approved by Council, primarily as it relates to the terms of the
conveyance of the building at 15 Selby Street to the City for affordable housing.

The applicant has also requested that the City consider two modifications to the previously approved development. This includes the addition of one residential floor to the tower, while dropping the overall height in metres of the tower, and the additional residential gross floor area for this additional floor."

Excuse the flash

That is still a great colour, and will match the older buildings in the neighbourhood. Can't wait.

Silver mullion caps? Seriously?

 

[vegeta_skyline]

Calm down, honestly.

 

[someMidTowner]

To be fair, PE makes a pretty good point about the silver mullions. I am hoping that they are just exaggerated by the flash in that shot. We shall see.

 

[stjames2queenwest]

silver or not this is a win in my books.

Have they already sold units in the Selby? If I had bought a condo in the Selby I would be irritated by the attempt to add a storey while decreasing the overall height of the building. The only way to do that would be to lower(my) ceilings.

67Cup:

the entire building has apparently been sold to a US equity group, apparently to be turned into a rental. They sold around 200 units on opening weekend, and promptly cancelled them due to the purchase.

Quite a similar style sale to King Blue, actually.
