lol, agreed... though doesnt the new model look less green than the already built phase?

 

[Filip]

Oh believe me, they'll green it up.

Why is the city letting them put up this crap at such an important location?

 

[urbandreamer]

Because in 100 years' time Toronto harbour will be one continuous dense area of highrises--aka, they'll fill in the water between the islands and the city. Then build a "floating" submerged tunnel to Buffalo. Infinity will no longer be visible from this site, and probably the 22nd century folk will find these condos make excellent sheep farms.

This will be quite the block when all is said and done (Do i have Infinity 3 & 4 right?)

I believe like Infinity 1+2, Infinity3 is the east tower of the pair @ 35 storeys, while Infinity4 is the west tower @ 16 storeys, the 2 buildings are joined by a 12 storeys link along the north street edge:

^ the more I see this.. the more I'm convinced we need this v

^ I agree - I believe the railway tracks arre the real barrier to the waterfront, not the gardiner. You can walk or drive under the gardiner but there are only a few locations where you can get over/under the tracks.

We should lower the tracks and allow developers to build over them. They have done it in other cities.

^ Just make sure they don't use green glass.

I'll go out on the limb and say this is probably the best the site will ever look, you know, before the building is actually built.

Sorry to be off topic, but by this pic it looks like other than the two office proposals there is only about two maybe three other locations in Southcore to build office developments...45 Bay st, Waterpark Place-3, and maybe the Toronto Star lands. I'd say thats not much for a future Toronto office boom.

Why are you calling this area of the railway lands and including a big chunk of the Waterfront, Southcore? It's not that great.
