Looks like a poor interpretation of the top up on Peter. Not impressed.
To be known as the King Adelaide Centre, the design by KFA Architects for property owner YAD Investments calls for up to 12 storeys of office and retail space to rise above all but one of the existing buildings on the development site, including the 4.5-storey heritage building at 582 King Street West—planned to be retained in situ and incorporated into the new complex. A surface parking lot at the southeast corner of Adelaide and Portland would also be redeveloped as part of this plan.
With 445 Adelaide, this is going to be one dense block. Let's get the pedestrian connections right and bring it on!
So you think that the streetscape would benefit by creating a "nailhouse" rather than preserving all the existing row of townhomes and building above ?And I hope it stays that way. As mentioned in that thread, I think that full assembly wouldn't be as good, urbanistically, as the current situation.
I like it. The building the corner of King and Portland IS being retained . It is only the houses being torn down correct?
I was surprised and sad to discover recently that Lee Valley had already moved out.
