Too late for comments, LOL Long day.

But @HousingNowTO will be flagged for obvious reasons!
 
...it's been my observation that with anything BDP Quadrangle at the design helm things tend to less SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! I hope I am not wrong here either. >.<

The one high quality rendering is still from quite a ways out, and the design feels preliminary to me. I suspect we have a ways to go design-wise before City approval and final design on this one!

Our front page story is up here now:

Thumbs down!

Weird terracing / massing at the crown? Unsettling!
White precast? With a formliner? Good grief
Blue tile? For the waterfront? Groundbreaking

Keep it simple, and add some warmth to the material palette.

I'm assuming this is very early days and Arkfield will need to partner w another developer to actually build this, should they ever choose to do so. Hopefully as this moves through the meat machine it will get better.

Question. How likely will this proposal go through?

Especially such height being so close to the water.

The buildings east and west of this are only 21 storeys.
 
Yeah and the buildings just to the North are ~50 floors...

Are you suggesting that no building is allowed to be taller than its neighbour?

I think there should be layers built from the water? Let’s say 20-30 floors along Queens Quay, 40-50 north of Gardiner, 60-70 along Front. Or else in the future there will be a wall of 50-floor buildings along Queens Quay.

But I just want to know how likely this will be approved.
 
I thought the area there was only zoned for buldings with a Max height of 25 stories. Were they successful in changing the zone already? I couldn't find anything on the current status of the appication. What happened at the Jan 9th meeting? Was it approved? Sadly I missed it.
I live in the tower directly behind the site and had no idea this was going on! I had not recived any notice and only saw the sign on the building as I walked by this weekend. The sign must have recently went up when the startbucks closed. I am cetain many more residents from my building woukd have attended if they knew.
