Just realized a few days ago that I could actually see Teahouse at its current state from my unit. Will be interesting to see the towers rise. Thankfully, the northern tower will be shorter and so unlikely to block my views of Humber Bay, although future developments may take care of that

Interesting. Those first few pics really show how much more of a corridor feel Yonge will have once this is up. It'll finally feel more hugged and less open.

Yup, and to think there's another 1/2 dozen towers in the pipeline just south of this

While many of the buildings in this corridor are somewhat low-quality, to put it nicely, and I'm concerned by the loss of a fine-grained streetscape, I've embraced the Blade Runnerification of Yonge Street and am really looking forward to the transformation of this area into a dense, vertical urban space.

Concerned X10. There is good when heritage blocks can be incorporated (like One Yorkville) providing an awkward but welcoming reprieve from the usual tower on podium with copy and pasted street level retail spaces. However, half or full blocks like this (assembled long before Lanterra was a twinkle in the eye) is very concerning including the loss of smaller commercial spaces to lease that aren't retail.

Ugh, You miss this?

For as long as I can remember this has been my most disliked block on Yonge St.

^^^There was no heritage value to that block. It was a blight. I'm glad Kathmandu is still around on Cumberland St.
