Toronto Pinnacle Lakeside (Phase 1) | 174.86m | 54s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

[3Dementia]

There is a map function at the top of the page you can use to find out what's happening on each site - https://urbantoronto.ca/map/

There are 2 projects happening on the "disgusting parking lot"

Quay House - https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/toronto-quay-house-73-15m-21s-empire-kirkor-architects.29486/

and 180 Queens Quay East - https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/180-queens-quay-e-20s-architectsalliance.28185/

So the best parts of Lakeside Residences, the western midrise (interesting massing) and the neat canopy entrance between the towers (maybe even the nutty V podium of the taller tower will suprise)... will all be blocked from the south view by a Kirkor and the terrifying aA monster-piece at 180 QQ East (I pray these are place-holders).

Suggestion... do a site trade immediately. Move Kirkor and the aA creature north to the Lakeside site, and move Lakeside Residences south (blocking those other 2 aforementioned mistakes).

It seems from the renders, that the area shaded in red is not part of the project. Anyone know what is the future of this parcel of land?

There will be two separate projects for that site, one at Queens Quay & Richardson dubbed Quay House;

Quay House | UrbanToronto

Quay House, Toronto by 1, KIRKOR Architects and Planners

And another for the remainder of the site along QQ to Sherbourne with the address of 180 Queens Quay East:

180 Queens Quay East | 75.5m | 22s | Rom-Grand Waterfront Ltd | a—A

That's... awful. Gotta be honest, recent aA has been disappointing me quite a bit. What happened to them? They really used to be the best neo-modern firm in the city, from my point of view. Something has changed though. These are basically shorter 150 Redpath's and the podium is terrible. Are...

New SPA docs were submitted to the City in January, and they came with a few new renderings. Not substantially different from what we've seen, but this is what they are aiming to build, so here they are for the sake of recording it (they've been put into the database file too).

It's still kind of odd, but it's growing on me. Will be interesting to see how it looks in the real world.

I think the form is interesting but I don't have any faith that they'll execute it with any grace or detail. I'm worried it's going to be overwhelmingly grey.

The site is pretty visible from my balcony and close to where I live so as construction progresses I'll be able to provide updates.

if it's growing on you - that would be because it's a parasite - not a good building - lol

If it weren't for the "swoop", this would be a hot mess.

Instead, it's a hot mess with a swoop (See Aura).
