It is as if a Danish architect designed the Borg Cube! Lol

Vi er det Börg. Your wallet will be assimilated by Poul Henningsen and Arne Jacobsen furniture. Resistance is futile.

Wondering if this is going to end up feeling like Time & Space

Also realizing the sidewalk on Front St is gonna be wiiiiiiide.

I think the quality of the architecture will be substantially better here compared to time and space.

The alternative is unthinkable!

Yes that's plenty of density, and then some... Those architectural renderings with the buildings in the back and people in the front always make the buildings look less imposing...

The corner building shown above has some merit.

When I was scrolling through, I passed this photo and thought, "Oh, nice photo of New York - "

NYC is not the be-all and end-all, but it's nice to see a street type in Toronto that is more common there: mid-rise, dense buildings on either side of wide sidewalks.

I feel like the YMCA is going to need to do an expansion plan/fundraising effort before too long. Maybe it’ll push into whatever becomes of the Storage centre- which, cmon- the lifespan for that ticks away as land value increases.

I think there is no doubt that the Storage Centre is living on borrowed time, whether the YMCA will have the $$$ to buy into its successor is more open to doubt.

You can really start to see why it’s been taking them a while to form these buildings. A lot of slab transfers and cantilevers to achieve this subtle play of massing

 

[DavidCapizzano]

That courtyard is going to be pretty cool

He's been offered above-market valuations for years now and has absolutely no interest. Of course there's going to be a number, but what that is and when it's accepted is anyone's guess...
