hope i'm looking at what I think I am, and that's curtianwall. Given the percentage glazing presented, I think it would have to be to meet code. That or the render is ignoring a rather large amount of spandrel.
Well I guess we should at least be thankful that we're not getting more townhouses like ones on the east side of the Queensway. That would've been a bigger disaster
We need something like Waterfront Toronto or Midtown in Focus to guide development and intensification along The Queensway corridor.I agree 100% with this, but I have a feeling that if these developments go through (which they most likely will since the city is trying to intensify The Queensway), any chance at seeing that style of development will be pretty unlikely. It doesnt seem like there is a master plan for the site as a whole, so development will just be patchwork here.
I'd like to see it cover the development, growth and intensification around the Six-Points Interchange, and the whole stretch between Kipling and Cloverdale Mall along Dundas West, and the area around Sherway Gardens.^The sad thing is, we'll never see anything like that even though it's needed. It makes sense since it would go hand in hand with the city's plan to reconfigure ramps on the Gardiner at Kipling and Islington, and it could also be combined with the planning of future land uses of the SmartCentre at Sherway.
Unfortunately what we will see is a mishmash of developments popping up along The Queensway, especially when the time comes for the big-box stores west of Kipling to be re-developed.
Welcome to UT!First time I have just found this website! I am excited to see there are plans to improve the Queensway....I just feel there are so many blocks that need refurbishing (especially the block with the gentleman's club on it). These restaurants are busy all the time And the parking lot gets packed at the cinema (I once left due to no parking). Anyhow I will be curious to see how this transforms things...
