Putting my chips on Plaza and Quadrangle.

Architect is universally liked, but the developer doesn't always get the best out of them...

Whoever it is I hope they do a good job. Unless you've seen the renders Projectie and think it's going to be a sh!+show.

No movement for now I guess.

IMO, the building should be restored to a pre-1983 form in any new development- it might ironically make retaining it easier, since it involves stripping off the ugly upper floors.

So… as of City Council on May 5, things changed here:
Was: Diamond Schmitt 197.81m 59s zoning not approved
Is: Hariri Pontarini 209.6m 61s zoning approved

Database update coming soon.

City Council: "Looks like you came up a tad short, Diamond. What about you, Hariri? ...Ooo, much better!"

(Disclaimer: I'm pretty sure it didn't go down like that! >.< )

A big win all around

 

[ushahid]

19Duncan and 100Simcoe have a very similar podium. (not a bad thing)

 

[Northern Light]

A big win all around

Agreed, although I would love to see some of that podium colour extended to the tower in some fashion.

I like the form and the podium a great deal......

 

[Towered]

Levelled up.

 

[DavidCapizzano]

podium = great

tower = not so great

 

[Yegger]

much better than the previous rendition but i don't like how overbearing the addition is on the existing building (namely the 5 storey addition, then the 3 storey addition before the actual tower). Also the tower could really use some colour

 

[DarkSideDenizen]

The setbacks on the podium levels are nice. I hope this is adopted more widely.

 

[Redflorist]

That's one thick podium, can't wait to see it come up in the skyline
