Regardless of what is to happen to the building, the area sorely needs some retail - and more than just one supermarket.

I love the towers but I hope that shed above the heritage portion is some kind of place holder, because it looks godawful.

OMG - shocked by how close the proposal turned out to be to what I had in mind.

Not bad at all....the interior courtyard will make a great meeting place. Looks like this plan shows for retail to go under the Gardiner...now that's quite ambitious.

I'm the exact opposite. The office portions looks like a solid Aa work, some nice neo-modernism. The towers on the other hand look like something G+C would put out, badly proportioned and looking awkward. (just like that sentence haha)

What will be north of the Gardiner?
a condo and the library, Fort York Blvd opening to Bathurst St.

Yes, and a few more City Place buildings...with Lumen hopefully re-launched and new retail along Bathurst and Fort York. It's exciting news.

They'd almost be better off w/a Loblaws-logo facade pattern.
(It's been done. The Teleglobe Canada building on Morningside + 401 has the old Teleglobe logo as a cornice pattern, a la FLW's Hollyhock House...)

^^ Nice job. That rendering makes one wish for some more height in that part of town. It's starting to look like a 'table top' with everything in the 25-40 floor range. North American skylines always look better with a significant focal point.
