Yes but your reception was well deserved

 

[Hypnotoad]

^^ My reception wasn't very bumpy because my first post was pictures. Pictures, pictures and more pictures -- that's the best way in. That and cookies apparently.

As best as I know, Granny's promised cookies remain undistributed. She'd better cough'em up at some point, or the wolf may be paying her a visit!

Keep in mind she is in her mid 90's, so she might have a touch of Alzheimer’s.

[ProjectEnd]

A few notes from last night's meeting.

-Quadrangle Architects
-Aspen Ridge Homes.
-39s, 131m
-S-shaped, 18s podium
-Point tower will be very 'pointy' - 640sq/m at its widest - situated on the south west corner of the site
- 628 units
-Seriously looking at a number of 'green' inititives (green roofs, walls, etc.)
-Creation of public plaza on Nelson st.
2 different lobbies for podium and tower sections - one at corner of Nelson and Duncan, the other on Richmond, closer to University ave.

hoarding is up on Richmond

/\ Are you sure that you have the right project? This one hasn't even gone to the city yet, let alone the OMB (God forbid).

 

[Mike in TO]

Could be the demo of a couple clubs that are being taken down to make way for the project.

Not exactly hoarding.. but the big white club (money?) and another building beside it are in the process of being torn down.

 

[adma]

Yeah, I noticed that. (Weird 70s style building, of the reverse-setbacked, subliminally CorbuRudolphian variety.)

Nice height

I love the tower, its fantastic... the swishy "building B" I'm not so sure about.... while its nice that they're attempting something different.... I just... well i prefer a nice uniform street wall... ala the new Stewart Street.

all and all, good height/density though, and the shape of the tower compliments shangri-la quite well, so.... start the digging!
