It would be interesting to have a cat fountain, to mirror the dog fountain at Berczy park. These places are at roughly the same longitude.

They're even closer to being at the same latitude!

I'm not a fan of the site plan and that weird diagonal curved street thing in the middle or the "a humongous podium followed by a humongous podium" concept but I do hope this project properly animates Wellington.

Don't get your hopes up. Just look how great the Eaton Centre has been for lower Yonge Street

The new landscaping on Wellington will be A+ though.

Drove by this morning @ 6.45 and to my amazement even though pitch dark, they were digging the corner with a convoy of many dump trucks waiting on.......looks like the excavation of the office bldg. has finally started

SPA drawing sets have been posted for the highrise and midrise portions of the project.

On a related note, the thread title doesn't currently account for architecture consultants Adamson, aA, Wallman, and BDP.

getting some serious Liberty Village vibes from the Wallman buildings (and not in a good way).

 

[ChesterCopperpot]

Those Wallman ones are old. The bricks are like this. GFRC for the solid areas in the setbacks.

There may be a character limit for thread titles haha

the residential towers don't look so great from those renders.

 

[TDotTeen]

To be honest, those tower designs are pretty underwhelming. I think it works for the middle building with the heritage-esque podium, since it echoes the dynamic of buildings like QRC. But overall I was hoping for something with more variety. I guess its better to have memorable podiums (podia?) and generic towers than the other way around though.

Gee awful, i hope that's not the final product, and how come there is no balconies facing south?

 

[jje1000]

I almost feel like the towers should be dramatically different in materiality from one another, kind of like the Barcode project in Oslo.

So, 3 slabby takes on King Charlotte with a few balcony wiggles? Underwhelming is an understatement. These look downright banal.
