Toronto The United BLDG | 179.52m | 52s | Davpart | B+H

"The revised proposed height of 184.5 metres lies below the silhouette of City Hall and respects the view corridor. Furthermore, because the building is constructed on top of an existing commercial office building, with larger floor to ceiling heights, a certain amount of additional height is to be expected and is consistent with the proposal at 480 University Avenue which was approved at 190 metres. Lastly, the impacts of the height from a sunlight and shadowing perspective are minimal and acceptable. For these reasons, staff support the proposed height of the proposal."

They say 480 University was approved at 190. This doesn't seem to jive with the numbers we have.

The City's final approval documentation for 480 University that I can find online says that it was approved at 197 metres, not 190. It's possible that the number quoted in the 481 documents is a typo.

The proposed tower across the street needs a redesign though

[modernizt]

Redesign?? i hear its sold out

What does the fact that it's sold out have to do with his opinion?

Wow, really? I don't really applaud the design of it though. The location is the best part of it!

Cause usually redesign happens during the site plan approval process, and not after approvals and sales

Scaffolding has been erected around the base of the heritage court house at the corner of Dundas and Centre - looks like this one is getting rolling.

I don't think we need to worry. They'll keep 481 University and tear down the deco 210 Dundas.

They had better not tear down a deco building

Ugh?? they have no intentions, haha, don't stress yourself

 

[Strange Advance]

So, has this indeed gotten underway, as claimed by Towered more than a year ago?

The scaffolding along Dundas mysteriously disappeared a few weeks ago. I have no idea why it was there for so long because nothing appears to be different. There doesn't seem to be any other sign of action to indicate that this project is underway.

That's rather unfortunate, I love when developers find ways to incorporate old heritage buildings into there new tower. It usually comes along with a needed restoration of the heritage building and it would bring more density to University. Hopefully it eventual happens
