Huge for North York... might get chopped down a bit.

Front page story here, where we mention that there is one elevator for every 179 suites in this 536-suite proposal. If one elevator is move-in service, that's one elevator for every 268 suites. If some overgrown kid at the same time plays with the buttons, that's one elevator for every 536 suites.

Looks like a Christmas tree! You'll be wanting to stare at one as you wait for your elevator.

This proposal highlights the need to extend the Beecroft Ring Road south to Florence Ave which already has a signalized intersection with Yonge. With Doris Ave on the east side of Yonge already slated for extension from Sheppard down to Avondale Ave, such a Beecroft extension is needed to complete 'the ring' with the Beecroft/Doris ring roads.

Transitional density rights could be given to properties between an extended Beecroft and Yonge (a degree of compensation for getting stuck with a tower next door). I realize the areas official plan would need updating followed by some slow land assembly/expropriation, but it's the only sensible way forward for this pocket.

Solid looking design, glad to see it's not all spandrelly.
