Toronto Sugar Wharf Condominiums (Phase 1) | 231m | 70s | Menkes | a—A

[Yegger]

Can't say I disagree with you.

I wish the density along this stretch was either shorter or broken up into more smaller developments like the St Lawrence Market neighborhood immediately to the north. There you have lots of nice low/mid rise developments with loads of retail, plenty of greenery and smaller sites that fit the urban fabric much better and make for a great street presence. In contrast to here where all these (mostly) bland mega developments along this stretch just do the opposite of that and give off such a sterile vibe. That being said, maybe it will be better along here when all is said and done.

I agree with you. Nice materials can only do so much if the scale is off and the design monolithic.

Can we travel back to this time and stop Daniels in its tracks?

North face...

that pano is probably the first and last time Daniel tower will look that decent.

Those fake "windows" crack me up, but at least they look decent with the fins.

I mean yea they're fake but they honestly look pretty darn good. I like the glass here.

It'll look pretty cool if these panels continue past the transfer slabs and all the way up the towers.

Interesting to note: Scotiabank seems to have signed a lease here already as per Menkes Leasing Page

Confused why this one is so close to the other one, unless this one is no longer in play.

Also, unsure if these renders have been posted before of the ground realm (Via Menkes / Norm Li):

 

[Rascacielo]

Anyone knows what's going to be in the extra tall floor below the transfer slabs?

I haven't looked at any plans, but could it be the residential lobby? or amenities?

It’s not one big space under the tower, there are floor plates with units between the super columns
