Toronto 415 Yonge | 231m | 66s | Marwest | Kirkor Architects

Whenever plans are posted, which should be soon. I'm curious how they propose to service a 61 storey building here, on what is a very small lot.
 
Nineteen + 50 is 69...

They originally said that but applied for this

415 YONGE ST
Ward 27 - Tor & E.York District

Zoning By-law Amendment to facilitate the addition of a 42-storey residential tower on top of the existing 19-storey office building. The overallbuilding height is 61-storeys (239.35 metres). Total GFA 53,064.8 square metres, consisting of 16,936.3 square metres of existing non-residential GFA and 36,128.5 square metres of proposed residential GFA.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, guys...
 
The proposed 61 storeys building at 239.35 meters to feet ratio would put it a little over 785 feet. Making it about 78 storeys high with floor plates being ten feet high used in hotel and condo buildings. Or the same height as the Commerce Court West office tower at 57 storeys. This building is going to stand out !

Conventional design: "Another glass box, typical Toronto"
Unusual design: "Are they crazy? stupid design"

Typical UT
 
That kind of reminds me of those fake development boards that went up awhile ago, where outlandish additions were being proposed for landmark buildings.

Although, I could see this if there was some kind of transition between the two. Like, keeping the floorplates consistent at the transition, and then also keeping the punched window motif on the first few "diamonds", transitioning to more and more glass as it goes up.
