[cd concept]

I support this for older classier designs. Imo The current bottom floor design isnt appealing enough to save.

It's more appealing than the all glass podium proposal. The stone, granite cladding materials makes it worthwhile to save. Just change the windows to a dark glazed or mirrored look to bring out the podium's stone granite features. Then build an all mirrored or dark glazed glass tower above to match the podium part below!

If you were wondering where this one hid............

It went in for some re-tooling.........

Instead of nixing one office building...........it now nixes two.

Quite the change! Again I ask myself, what are the odds of it actually looking like that when all is said and done?

1782 units, 75% of which are 1-beds.. Have they learned nothing from the recent market? Most other developers are moving away from crappy micro-units for a reason, but apparently not here..

I LOVE this art deco esque gold brown cream towers so much more than the generic boring bland glass design before!

(You know what I'm going to say here re: this will not be constructed...)

This is not the place for a squat 3 floor podium

 

[Towered]

Brown? Really??

 

[ushahid]

it will definitely be VE to brown but right now its more of a Bronze/Gold.

Is it a poor reflection on me that I read your post as "ball buster"?

edit to add: H&R are struggling lately so their finances are likely not in a place to pull this off. Along with the precon condo market being 80% down.

Love of this Art Deco revival aesthetic. We need more of this. Less plain glass facades and 50 shades of grey. Bring in some warmth to the skyline.

You don't have to remind me about this dog of a stock market performer among the past couple of years... >.<
