Not much to see yet.

I like the Casa buildings and their sleek looks, but is maybe a third one so close to the first two a bit too much?

 

[Schulich07]

I agree that maybe it is it too much with a third. However based on the renderings I like how they plan on incorporating the two podiums. From Charles the glass podium should look symmetrical and impressive when looking straight up. Imagine seeing those thin profile 55ish storey towers, almost like a mirror image...hopefully it turns out something similar to the renderings

It kinda needs the third! Since its attached to the second.

This looks so big. I like the scale of casa II but I don't know about this one. Looks like a behemoth. I guess time will tell.

 

[Miscreant]

Yeah, I'm not sure it will be. If you look at the renders the podium is large and wide, but the tower itself is quite narrow.

I agree with SJ2QW. This is a massive hole for such a slender building.
The only part of this project I bemoan is losing the sunlight for the stained glass windows of St Andrew's United on the North side. Pity.

I don't know if all of the Casa II parking is underneath Casa II or not, but looking at that first pic of mine from my previous post, I'd be willing to bet that some of what looks like the Casa III pit is an extension of Casa II's underground area too…

…but yes, this is a very big pit! There is a mid-rise office building going up at the back of this site, so there are a number of functions to accommodate here!

Thanks for the update, i42. I hardly ever get downtown to see construction progress myself.
