Toronto Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

I quite like the design, but the density of towers for me is a bit much. Luckily, the Planners seem to want to address that.

These towers aren't actually that close together, their sheer size makes it seem so though. They are all 20+ meters apart.

With the exception of Parade, no Toronto condo has explored the idea of public or shared residential sky bridges and integrated vegetation.

Not strictly true

Just across the street from this development - Pier 27 has bridges

154 Front E had a skybridge with amentities - http://urbantoronto.ca/database/projects/154-front-street-east

and the aA design for Cityplace's Signature tower had skybridges more than halfway up the building as well

Apparently traffic engineers at a community meeting seemed okay with the density. But I'd like to see solid data before coming to a conclusion on whether or not the density is appropriate.

Sorry, I don't mean the strict floorspace density, I mean more along about how many towers they are squeezing onto the site. I would prefer something more along the lines of 4 towers, even if they are taller.

It will b so cool if one yonge will hav this.

Ahh yes I agree. These blocks look way too crowded.

Nah, something like that wouldn't fly here

Yeah I guess, id hate to know what kind of density they have planned of the LCBO lands which is more than twice the size

Bridges between condo towers has been done as early as 1993 (Grand Harbour, Humber Bay Shores).

Can anyone think of any tall buildings in Toronto with a better design than these?

Existing or proposed?

Mirvish + Gehry
Also the Convention Centre project that has gone quite with Sir Norman Foster's tower.
But 1 Yonge is excellent too.
Would love to get all three!!

 

[ttk77]

Yes, I was thinking of those as well. For existing buildings, I'd add in L-Tower.

 

[buildup]

Three more exhilerating uber dense nodes with undisturbed contextual fabricy everywhere else extending to the horizon...

Yeah but this Toronto, I'd be surprised if one of those projects get's built, let alone all three!
