Really.. additional access? Are you not aware of the public mid-block connection points adjacent to the site on either side? What exactly would the need be for a third? There are already a total of four public mid-block connections to the park on all sides, plus access from the townhomes, the...

Its called Barbara Ann Scott Park. Phase 1 and 2 did back on to it... with 4 storey luxury townhomes each including outdoor terraces, primary frontages, and individual unit entrances facing the park....... Visit the area much? As of date, the developers have given the City over $3,000,000 for...

It's a big project. Talking about tower and podium form. 4 of 5 towers, significant open space.

Everybody relax. This building could be amazing.

To reply to a much earlier post... the developer would likely argue that this site falls within the "Height Peak" at the intersection of Yonge and Bloor, meaning it would be eligible for a maximum height of 242m (80 storeys) as per the Tall Buildings Study. This height was established through...

The right-of-way was always that wide, pal. The building's didn't magically move over to accommodate an additional 2 lanes of dedicated traffic. I work on Spadina. Its an amazing pedestrian-oriented street. Local businesses benefit tremendously from the dedicated street level LRT. It also has...

Just throwing it out there, but isn't it possible that this project does not, infact, involve significant retro-fits or the demolition to the historic buildings? May this simply be an error? The parking lot is large enough on its own to be a development parcel.

I do expect it, I'm not saying that I don't. However, my immediate surroundings have been subject to more construction in the last decade than most areas of the City. I'm not trying to stop the development, I'm trying to get something a little more slender than what is being proposed so that my...

The concern over height has to do with overshadowing onto the adjacent park at College Park, which is supposed to have minimum shadow impact protections in place. That's all. Don't get your panties in a knot. If this building was going up in front of your living room, after years and years of...

I did. The initial concept has some good elements. It incorporates living walls along the Gerrard street frontage, between retail entrances. It also includes a mid-block pedestrian connection on the east side of the property, adjacent to the Delta. The 5 storey podium will include an outdoor...

I look out on this development from the eastern wall of the Liberties. They assembled a crane on the street last Friday evening (in about an hour) and began raising and installing mechanical facilities on top of the western podium roof on Saturday. They seem to stick up pretty high in comparison...

Agreed. Personally, I am much more concerned about the preliminary design of its eastern neighbours.

I'll be there.

Glad to be of service. I will be here all evening.

...Except the Bloor-Dundas Avenue Study and the Dundas Street West-Bloor Mobility Hub Study both identify this site for significant density as it is an area slated for transit-oriented development. Over-shadowing won't be a significant issue, and the majority of density is adjacent to the rail...

Good question, ProjectEnd. I will respond with another question for you. Where, in that quote, do you see anything written about accepting development for the sake of development, regardless of the potential negative impacts on the existing built environment and residential population with...

I wouldn't be too quick to suggest that this building will fly through the approvals process. There are MANY outstanding issues which the City is going to want to discuss.

The proposal includes retail frontage along Dundas Street West, with individual townhouse unit entrances (2 storey units) along Indian Grove, and the expansion of the rear lane and partial conversion to a residential muse with studio apartments fronting directly onto the lane. The mechanical is...

Architecture by RAW Architects. Urban design consultant is Brook McIlroy. Keep an eye on this one. It is going to be a beautiful, precedent setting mid-rise building for Toronto's Avenues.

Saw the notice on my way to work this morning - I live in the Liberties. Unfortunately I did not have a camera. The rendering is absolutely horrid. It looks as though 3 completely separate towers have been stacked on top of one another. Extremely boxy. Not the kind of neighbour I'm willing to...
