gh3 are making really great work these days, and this building is full of influences from them.
The scallops are almost reminiscent of a lot of the PoMo architecture Toronto midrises have, especially in the Annex and this area. Really nice throwback, and if executed well could look very timeless.
I'm really enjoying the alternating finishes on the balcony pillars too - will really make this feel dynamic. Here's hoping it doesn't get VE'd out.
Can't wait for every nimby in the area to show up and suddenly decry that it's somehow casting shadows on Nathan Phillips Square, or Christie Pits Park, or something dumb...

Preliminary Report on this one is headed to the October 14th meeting of TEYCC.
I don't see any make or break issues, though the usual types of concerns/issues are at play.
Staff would clearly like some affordable housing the mix though.

According to a lengthy Globe article today, the existing building at 25 St Mary (mentioned only in passing) was built by the same developer responsible for constructing the Champlain Tower South that famously collapsed in Surfside Florida.

I feel less bad about the building here being replaced, now...

We have a new front page story up here, and it includes this update to the northward-looking hero shot, among many other things including speaking with the private planner at Urban Strategies who is leading their design work. Anyway, updated rendering with more ghostly-blue proposals/construction projects in the area, which is kind of fun to ponder:

When do these types of projects go on sale

Whenever the developer feels* like it… and we have no idea when they'll feel like it, there are too many moving parts for us to get a good idea before an announcement is made.

*Whenever it makes financial sense for the developer, based on lots of forecasting. Tenblock may wait until all the approvals are in place first, or until they feel sure enough of getting all the necessary approvals.

With the lowering of real estate expectations, I can imagine the "feels like it" bit probably won't be for awhile...

The heights (in storeys) are unchanged, but whoa get a load of that Parking Reduction!
Original Revised
Confirmed in Arch. Plans, nothing below P1 and Bike Parking takes up more area, substantially more, than vehicle parking.
Revised Ground Floor/Site Plan:

Why do you say the heights are unchanged?
The tallest gained 4.6 metres, and the shorter tower gained 10.5 metres.
Even the thread title is wrong for now.
