@Towered is reporting elsewhere that this has been painted grey???

I've Always loved the Scarborough Citadel. A rare (and very special) piece by Garwood-Jones van Nostrand Hanson Architects (Trevor Garwood Jones who passed away in 2011 and John van Nostrand, later of van Nostrand Di Castri, then architectsAlliance, then planningAlliance / rePlan /...

As usual, John Lorinc provides an excellent perspective: https://spacing.ca/toronto/2024/04/18/lorinc-its-time-to-talk-about-the-committee-of-adjustment/

That's exactly what their business already is.

It's fantastic. The world needs way more 'fun' buildings. We have enough decorated sheds, let's start pumping out those ducks!

Wow, it's garbage. That shocks me. I was holding out hope that this architect / developer combo could really pull it out here...

A local firefighter deputed that he was worried the building would be a fire hazard. The member who raised the motion to refuse did so (in part) because he didn't like that one of the applicant's diagrams made the project resemble shipping containers (the architectural expression is brick)...

As real as it gets! https://www.google.com/maps/@52.4384055,4.8162524,3a,87.9y,200.67h,102.11t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sxC53mRE1ejIdjtC8WAe2oQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?entry=ttu

That's the point ;)

If you think Kirkor could do the Hotel Zaandam, I don't know what you're smoking...

Extremely frustrating, yes. After over two hours of presentation and debate, a split committee believed that the application was not 'minor' and that 10 new rental apartments should not be constructed in Seaton Village (the final vote was 2-1 with the Chair abstaining on a technical ground)...

Sign me up! (Toronto developers could never)

What is the timing on the mined tunnel connecting the guideway to Mt. Dennis? I'm probably not looking hard enough, but as that contract has been awarded, how have we not seen a schedule for that work?

Embarrassing. Clock starts now on the "APPROVED DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY" advertisements from the brokers... (This was never a real project, remember)

That's exactly what they did. Kind of like what IBI did a decade ago when the acquired Page & Steele, Young & Wright, etc. All hail the corporate borg!
