Very interesting! Driving by last night, it looked like there was fencing along the Dundas St. side, but wasn't sure if it was new....I guess if this is going to be a rental building, then they can just start digging!

Like it. But surely there's not going to be a gap in the streetwall between 1CH and this project? That would suck...the life out of the area.
Any idea who the architect is? (Looks very aA meets Wallman, sort of like aA's Quay West.)

re: gap in streetwall - Years ago Diamante was trying to assemble the full city block, but that restaurant remained a hold-out and was unwilling to sell.

Oh right. It's a sort of cool modernist-style building; however, I'm sure the owner is happy--I could see a highrise "loft" building here. Although it's interesting to note, that while these new developments bring density, the real charm is in the revitalized Victorian retail strip across the street....
(Looks like Ryerson missed a good opportunity with their business school--they could've built student housing on top of the school.)

The "ring" around all the balconies on the east side makes the building seem very imposing to me -- I'm not sure I like the scale of that feature.

Sounds like this building will appeal to Ryerson / U of T students.
Shame about that little building on Dundas that will now be wedged in between these two... it will probably be there forever now.
The architect is Young and Wright/IBI Group Architects.

It's not that big, nor is it that overbearing when you look at the general scale of Bay Street. Ideally Bay will be a continuous canyon from here to its terminus north of Bloor, though there are a couple of low-rise sites that I'd like retained. Overall I'd say this continues the positive transformation we've been seeing on Bay, and along with Murano, Burano, 880, and Lumiere we're finally seeing some respectable architecture.

I think it looks great. Much better than what I was expecting. This is looks like a cool building. Whew! This is a load off my mind. The tower seems to mirror the other building next door though it's different developers and architects. Right?
