Toronto CityPlace: Canoe Landing Community Centre & Schools | 15.85m | 3s | City of Toronto | ZAS Architects

Father Redmond is by MJMA. ZAS were merely the architects of record. Frankly I'm somewhat terrified that they might be handling this alone.

...But hey, this is Toronto, where even the tallest residential building went to an equally disastrous "firm."

I gotta say, this whole "this is Toronto" thing it's getting annoying. We haven't see any renders so far, so why all the pessimism? ;)
 
Things seem to be moving....

There may be renderings presented at this one. From what I've heard from people in the working group is that there will be come community garden space, and even a community kitchen. Sounds like design work is far enough along to get some idea of what the building will look like.

And then the community will finally be complete.

There will still be one final development after Block 31, and possibly another development as part of Block 31 (The schools/community centre only take up a portion of the site). Then there's also a final TCHC building near Library District Condos that needs to be built, and an LRT line and Smart Track station.

At that point the community will finally be completed. :p
 
Incredibly preliminary, but here's the proposed massing for the building facing Fort York Boulevard. There's a second building proposed to the South of Brunel Court also.

Two schools planned on Toronto waterfront to share one building



It’s hard to build a new school in Toronto these days, but it may be impossible to do it alone, as the city’s public and Catholic boards are learning.

A school is finally coming to the high-rise community of waterfront condos southwest of downtown, near Spadina Avenue and Fort York Boulevard. Rather, it will be two elementary schools housed in one building, along with a community centre and daycare. Architects unveiled images of their newest plans this week.

I feel like an actual massing model integrated into a site model would be way more informative than a rendering of the massing with some people pasted into it in Photoshop. Is there any PDF document or information from the meeting?
