Even renovating the former Toronto Star building at One Yonge like fellow International Style skyscraper Seneca One Tower in Buffalo would be better than demolishing it completely.

I think it is very shameful that our heritage preservation system is abused to protect shacks on Queen St E while this building of architectural and cultural significance (and *massive* amounts of embedded carbon) doesn't have any sort of designation. What a joke.
Time to designate more brutalist buildings before they're gone.
You were around when they demolished the original Star building? Wow! Yes, I'd have been outraged and heartbroken.I think I was more upset the last time they demolished the Toronto Star Building. It really hadn't been in existence that long and was an art deco classic.
It's amazing that so many of us agree with you, but yet the city doesn't feel this way.
O&Y built this Star Building *because* they demo-ed the original one for FCP.You were around when they demolished the original Star building? Wow! Yes, I'd have been outraged and heartbroken.
I'm not sure modernist fans would appreciate the red and black paint job or the neo-brick warehouse aesthetic Seneca One's new owners have given it lolEven renovating the former Toronto Star building at One Yonge like fellow International Style skyscraper Seneca One Tower in Buffalo would be better than demolishing it completely.
