What is Alibaba?
but the units at 1 Yorkville are horrendous.
the floorplans were posted
http://urbantoronto.ca/forum/showthread.php/20175-1-Yorkville-(Bazis-Plaza)-Real-Estate
mostly small units (12 units per floor squeezed into a ~80' x ~110' floorplate) with sub par layouts with very narrow LR of 9'0" - 9'3" and small 9'0" x 9'0" bedrooms.
The clowns running the show at Plazis really don't know what they're doing. They go from cheeky faux rich <expensive> nonsense to foreign student ghetto in 6 months. This building, with it's preposterous heights and poor integration with the existing heritage has little chance of seeing daylight any time soon.
I'm growing more and more confident that this deal dies on the vine and is eventually replaced by something more suitable for the area.
what I just read.
I cant believe that someone want such a unique designed building to get cancel.
sir who cares. we are not going to live in those condos. so just enjoy the skyline. people will see the floor plans before they will buy it and if they buy it it means they like it that's why they buy it.

What's 'preposterous' about a building this tall at the confluence of two subway lines and with buildings of roughly the same height in the immediate vicinity?
may be the developers will change the floor plans ones they see that many people don't like the floor plan.
can they change it or not?
It's not a major intersection thus not deserving of mega density. It will erode the fabric of the streetscape surrounding it through wind, shadows and a tacky podium. If you're ok with Plazacorp in Liberty Village and Crystal Blu on Balmuto then I suppose I can see why you have no issue with this proposal.
Yonge & Bloor can be built to the heights & limits of modern engineering in my opinion. This is not Yonge & Bloor. It's Yonge & Yorkville. The neighboring building, which gave the people a very pleasant parkette is but 30 or so storeys. This one should not exceed it in my opinion.
It's called proper city building and no one in City Hall or Queens Park seems to care if inferiors builders like Plazis basically blow through our more desirsble neighborhoods with their disposal housing concepts leaving a trail of amusement park quality structures to befoul the landscape.
