I love the park but unfortunately it isn’t perfect. The fact the city is freezing cold for half of the year and there’s nothing to do in the park during those months is a huge flaw.
This desperately had to be an ice skating rink that can be a year-round attraction even in the winter. This is...
So far nothing is really looking like the render. I guess we shall wait and hope for the best. The final result will sure be very different from the render.
A new subway line and a streetcar line, and only 15-17 stories? This is a joke. Wasted opportunity, these people don’t think ahead into the future. This should be at the very least 30 floors. Where else would high density make sense in this city? Smh
The vertical fins make a huge positive impact. I Love the texture they add. This is looking great. I wish it was facing the lake so it’d have more impact on the skyline.
The tower’s geometry had so much potential to have the kind of One Bloor West balcony impact with its sharp lines. But they used the worst possible cladding for both the building envelop and the balcony cladding. Not to mention the terrible podium/ground floor. Maybe a recladding in 40 years...
This mechanical box or whatever that is on top of the heritage building, is the only part of this project I don’t like. Wish they would’ve used the same glass instead.
This is what First Capital REIT is proud to bring to Canada’s most prominent corner and prestigious retail street. A soul-killing Scotiabank branch.
I don’t even buy the argument that only a bank could afford to pay for the high rent for this corner. I’m sure there are plenty of brands dying...
Scotiabank right at corner of Yonge and Bloor will be a corner killer. Nike and Mango should’ve been there instead. Scotia was more suitable east of Bloor near the Cafe Landwer
I suspect this whole part of queen street/moss park subway station will be the new ground zero for densification and development. I can already see every small building being redeveloped into this type of project, restored heritage base and condo tower on top.
