I'm looking at the site from my window at the Liberties. I can confirm that all lights are out with the exception of the one over the pay booth, which is strange. The crane looks to be over half the length of the lot (north-south). Two trailers are set up on the western portion of the site...

I'm content with the outcome of this design competition, but is it realistic to suggest the planting of decorative grasses, etc. under the Gardiner? How much light do such species need to survive?

There IS a small water feature on the west end of the podium, but it is long and rectangular.

Wonderful idea for a proposal! You should run for mayor in 2022.

That image is brilliant. I'm glad to see these skyline holes finally filling in. What a lost opportunity - They could have built the ACC on the Roundhouse site to complete that very phallic symbol. Oh well... As is, it is the world's largest monument to prostate cancer research.

The glass used looks incredibly dark compared to the renderings.

Nice to see this project progressing so quickly.

By "Park" I hope they did not mean "Car Park", as that is what we appear to have.

Wonderful view of Midtown Manhattan in that last suite rendering!

Shadow Impacts At 35 storeys, my only concern would be potential shadow impacts on the south market building. However, the grade is substantially lower. Any thoughts?

Uhhh... Reading the extremely unrealistic ideas in your posts makes my head hurt. Please, drop it.

My office did a master plan for the central waterfront about 5 years ago, and it included offices on that site up to and including where the off-ramp exists. They were to address the corner of York / Queens Quay in a similar fashion to the buildings at 8 York Street.

I'll wait for the official word before I get too excited, but that sounds promising.

Designs for buildings of this size must have to go through the mandatory urban design review panel. Wouldn't they? Maybe the team needs to step it up a notch in their critiques.

Nice try. It is the MLS podium roof with an exterior construction elevator... but close.

I am not a religious man, but THANK GOD! Now we just need to do something about the antennas.

I also couldn't believe that they would be putting townhouses on Bay. Seems out of place.

Should we assume for now that the design will stay the same? It seems to make sense that it would.

Very good points.

It is a bit unfortunate that the mechanical penthouse is so large and bulky. However, they have done quite a good job of screening it from the north and south. I would imagine 18 York will sufficiently screen it from the west. I cannot wait to see the spire in place.
