It blends right in-- matches the old Front Street streetwall beautifully, and has the effect of a modernist building behind it-- just as London on the Esplanade is a newer building behind, as will be L Tower.
They just applied for their zoning reviews:
Application: Zoning Review Status: Not Started
Location: 51-61 FRONT ST E
TORONTO ON M5E 1B3
Ward 28: Toronto Centre-Rosedale
Application#: 10 140794 ZPR 00 ZR Accepted Date: Mar 26, 2010
Project: Multiple-Use Building New Building
Description: PUBLIC - PRELIMINARY PROJECT REVIEW, Due Date is 27-APR-10, >>Proposal to construct a new 13-storey mixed-use apartment condo with non-residential at grade facing front street. See also 06 193542 STE.
I think this is an INTERNAL review by the Planning Department and the date is the date by which this must be done to avoid the developer being able to say "the City is not responding" and rushing off to the OMB. Before any proposal goes much further forward I suspect that there will be a public meeting on this in a month or so but, though these are public, they are not well advertised as the City is only obligated to inform residents within about 200 yards.Thanks for the update Do you know how a person would go about attending the project review on April 27th?
Does anyone know much about the developer Concert? What is their reputation like? They have a ton of projects out West and the only completed development in Toronto is the rental building Jazz. Would love more information on their track record to help foresee if this project will come out on top.

Not yet, Concert is putting it all together now. Been waiting a long time for this.@Spadinabus: Any more info like pricing, floor plans ?
