Yeah this all looks totally fantastic.

Man, does it ever. The look and feel reminds me of contemporary buildings I saw in Amsterdam this past summer. Great stuff.

Exactly what I thought of, with that mostly white mid-rise adding a touch of Copenhagen waterfront.

This is awesome.

The office building has a couple of cool tricks up its sleeve:

Yes! (I should have waited to see what was written beyond that last post from the previous page.) Exactly!

That mid-rise and the tower are almost an architectural portmanteau of the Krøyers Plads.

Hopefully that's still terracotta on the tower

As long as it’s red (ish) I’m happy.

I'm constantly amazed at these hidden properties here and there around Toronto that have been 'forgotten' and are becoming potential wonderful places. Marvellous!!

The large image at #31 above has vanished the works facility at 677-701 Wellington?

It's slated to become parkland… eventually, but that's separate from this proposal.

I guess people are excited about architecture here but the proposal is really just adding a lot density to such a confined site. It's essentially planned like a neo-tower-in-the-park - a large-sized property only fronting a small dead end street, I don't know how it's expected to retain vibrancy. It's too much an isolated pocket.

Haha, obviously you don't live down there
