There should still be lots of sun on the Esplanade side!

Not inside the canyon, but on those nice wide sidewalks (which definitely have room for trees).

I think they had some problems with the utilities on The Esplanade, so they couldn't plant any trees. But I heard the City has a big plan to fix up the whole Esplanade in a year or two, including planting trees as part of the renovation.

I can well believe that this developer would be surprised to find utilities under the sidewalks - it's such a rare thing in an urban environment!! What is inexcusable is that the City has, so far, not forced them to do what they were told to do in the site plan. Yes, the City has plans to fix up David Crombie Park and adding trees on the north side of The Esplanade in this block was/is part of it.

I would be willing to forgive this chonk - if the developer had attempted to have a decent at-grade presence. Given that they tossed in the towel on that too, I’m incredibly disappointed and frustrated.

"Chonk" describes this project perfectly.

Time and Space clearly falls into the “Oh Lawd He Comin” camp.

We gotta create the Toronto buildings version of this.

I have a new name for this - The Wall

We'll have The Well on the west end of the city... and The Wall on the east end!

There are plenty of UTers here who compared this condo with Kowloon Walled City, the most densely populated neighbourhood in human history.

Not sure it is acceptable to discuss The Well and The Wall in the same post. One is a pretty decent effort that improves its neighbourhood and looks damned good. The other, isn't. One has made a significant effort to improve the streetscape, one has made absolutely none. etc etc

To be fair, I think that's the exact contrast that INH was trying to draw?
