Out of curiosity roughly speaking if you had to guess how many towers do you think we can see on site
There's a lot ifs ands and buts there in terms of the concept.
At first blush, I would assume the City will want to break up the block, though this somewhat complicated by the LRT and whether or not one envisions vehicles being able to cross the tracks at an additional traffic light.
At the low end, I'd assume the site subdivides into two and the high end 4. That's entirely a guess, and pre-supposes the conversion request is granted.
I would probably be place the park at the south-west extreme of the site, as this minimizes any shadow.
There would certainly be room for 5 buildings at the very least, but I wouldn't assume they would all be towers. (though with minimal risk of shadow as an issue, they just might be.
and lol second part is though but how high do you think it will go (60 storeys?)...
Swift's ask across the street is 39s; we don't know yet whether they will get it. But that'll be the precedent. Then follow the rule of
@ProjectEnd , the ask is what your neighbour got plus 10s. That would give you 49s, maybe.
Also is it just me or is the developer building the storage depot on the south east corner of bermondsey and mobile drive stupid? They can easily fit in a tower there and it is relatively close to a lrt stop... why do you think they did that?
I don't know, you've got a waste transfer station pretty close to the south, that comes with smells and noises; and it's not going anywhere.
The City may let the stuff fronting Eglinton go, but I think they'll fight tooth and nail for anything south of Mobile, not just to save 'employment' lands, because that helps buffer a large City works yard from complaints.
If it comes to it, self-storage buildings under one owner, only 6s tall, would not be prohibitive to remove if permission were forthcoming for a tower.
