The facades gives 1 Bedford a run for its money. This isn't preservation. Just put the designated properties out of their misery. Over 20 FSI is excessive residential coverage. The more lots replaced with 20 FSI, the more that excessive density will come into focus. The number of bike parking...

Someone sitting on a crapper is a normal function. People do weirder stuff in the main areas of condos.

Never stopped to measure but, there are high rises built next to corridors all over Toronto. Follow the Finch corridor...

66:1 elevators for a high end tower is nothing to admire.

The ground floor is mostly brick and curtain wall with the awnings and windows still to receive trim. It's a step above the rest of the tower. It isn't just a sheet of glass. There's a section of the street front that is just brick. I don't find it that big of a deal. It could be a blessing in...

A boutique hotel makes more sense unless this is proposal is leased to Google.

So are the grounds open? I've heard they closed off the grounds to the public in the last few years.

Developers have sold units before without zoning approval and they are pretty good estimating the length of time zoning approval takes. YI developments may not be into developments at all. The one plus two years out for ground breaking is optimistic even if we consider a fully recovered condo...

Exactly. The Well was purpose built as high rise apartments above an open air mall. Yorkdale wasn't. Yorkdale is the uppermost echelon of retail. It's a cash cow worth more than thousands of apartments. The Well & Mirvish Village still have to prove themselves, They could join a whole slew of...

Respectfully, this is the worst sales pitch. C'mon! An lrt to the biggest hospital? It's a big lake with a long shoreline in the GTA. . Towers and skylines are meaningful on urbantoronto. They aren't an expression of commercial prowess or wealth. They aren't the lifestyle choice like the mid...

This thread was started in 2013. If they haven't built anything yet than they surely aren't going to build anything now. Cheapening and such is just wasting key strokes.

Land transfer is a cash cow but, a tremendous tax burden for just about anyone. I'm not too keen on discounts or exemptions noble cause or not.

Kinda ugly lower middle class family homes will be multi-million dollar condos wedged between skyscrapers. It's all weird and very Toronto. The attention given to these to renovate and restore while other significantly grander structures and where the replacement is the neighbourhood oddity face...

40 times coverage 861 units in 54,000 square metres 74 car and 259 bike spaces for 861 units. forget the rendering. these are deplorable stats for living conditions.

I don't think rental equipment is a consideration in moving forward on a 9 figure project.

The GTA had 73 built skyscrapers in 2019. Today, it's up to 113 https://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?searchID=106972872 https://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?searchID=106972877 Chicago had 129 in 2019 and, 139 today.

That's the point. Adding skyscrapers on giant parking podiums into sprawl doesn't change the sprawl. It just adds a ton more people living by that sprawl. And the precedence should this be built is replace that sprawl with suffocating vertical sprawl for tens of thousands of people that have no...

Yeah, it may reinvigorate the mall but, what about the unfortunate souls that have to live there? It's as hostile a built form as the urban sprawl mall. Some will love it taking the elevator to the parking garage to drive around the parking garage to go across the street to another maze of a...

Reality? A rezoning application is not predestined to develop anything here. I can't see them tearing down a quarter million square feet which further complicates building a residential tower here.

The parkland dedication is dumb but, it's an easy compromise for the developer and city. An offsite dedication of any stature with the going rate of a 50 storey price tag will take contributions from many, many developments. It's a logistic nightmare. Yonge Eglinton is exploding with dense...
