Looks like they've rebranded the upper suites--150 condos--as Twenty Lombard at Yonge & Rich.
The upper portion of the building will be separate condo coporation (as I42 noted) with separate lobby, seperate set of elevators, and seperate amenities ... as always intended by Great Gulf and not a rebranding ... just a second release of higher floors of what was previously held back
At the community meeting last night a couple of people poured scorn on the name and the Great Gulf folks did not seem too keen to defend their choices. I suspect the actual condo names will change.So Young below and Rich up above, I guess?
There was a City-run public consultation meeting last night, at St James Cathedral Parish Hall. About 100+ people there and most concerns were connected to shadows on adjacent condominiums (Victorian, Spire, Indigo). The latter two have roof decks which will be affected, to varying degrees, by new shadows. In general the proposal was fairly well received and people seemed to like the new pedestrian walkways through the site, the new retail and the innovative cladding patterns. There were the usual complaints about the over-loading of infrastructure, lack of places to walk dogs, lack of trees and intensification. The staff report will be coming to TEYCC early in 2014. Details of the proposal and the applicants studies are on Planning website under Applications
Do you have the link to that proposal application? I can't seem to find it.
Preliminary report from the Sept 10 TEYCC:
