Toronto IMMIX | 131.06m | 38s | QuadReal | a—A

It is going to stop, once it reaches up to complete ground floor and then upto the new buyer.

The project is definitely not going to stop, and it is very unlikely to change at all with a new buyer. A creditor or purchaser has no incentive to alter a design that has already been paid for and started construction. The architectural and engineering costs would likely outweigh any possible savings.

Yea....give us something that looks like the Bay n Elm addition...good god no. These are beautiful buildings for the period and are well positioned/planned all throughout.

I can't remember which version of the podium they settled on, but i remember that this version is long gone. It would've made a nice red block with Tea house condos to the north.

The current version keeps more of the heritage clock tower though.

I really like this, except for whatever the hell they did to the front of the clocktower. That is truly hideous.

 

[GenerationLee]

It's an underwhelming podium treatment no matter how you spin it IMO. It looks ripe for cheapening into a competition for YC Condos. The narrow sidewalks on Yonge are just as big of a blunder...but I guess it is what it is until 2023-4 or so. I'm curious if the treatments along Grovesner will be any better or worse.

Interesting. I wonder if Quadreal is thinking rental or if they are going to partner with Menkes or someone again and go condo.

I can only contribute to speculation but QuadReal is growing their rental portfolio in Ontario, and maybe purchasing this site only makes sense with a long-term time horizon (which is no problem for a pension fund).

Forming the first floor above grade here now. Unable to snap a pic today, maybe @Benito can grab one?
