Thanks Snoop.

Taller, although your idea is great I think we are talking 'bout a different developer than HS, don't you?

Now Mr. Libeskind could do something with that...

I didn't invite you to slice the top off my effort, OK?

:O I complimented the layering you did, and I made it smaller as to differ it from yours so it wasn't a copy.. and I stated that it was just my idea.

I don't feel bad, but go ahead and guilt me

Cassius is soliciting ideas, crazy or not, at the UT website for the massing of the building, around the basic parameters he thinks H.S. is sticking to. So if you have a brilliant idea, opinion or suggestion, after reviewing the ideas already put forward, let him know.

I think its 73 stories now...

Mr Man · February 8th, 2006, 05:23 AM

^ lol

I wish Stinson best of luck. A 73-storey building will sure add a lot of new residents into the area. Maybe enough to spring up new retail and something more prominent than a mattress store at the corner of King and Yonge.

cassius · February 10th, 2006, 10:57 PM

About 73 storeys and between 200 and 205 metres. The exact height is yet to be determined but it's in that range.

rise_against · February 10th, 2006, 11:35 PM

Its still very high. I think people just got spoiled by the idea of a 90+ story tower.

Travis007 · February 11th, 2006, 12:35 AM

Whoops, my bad. Go to UrbanToronto to view the renders.

Jaye101 · February 11th, 2006, 01:10 AM

Isn't the land too small for that... I absolutly love the first one.

Not with 56 Temperance (the lot next door with the yet to be demolished building) added to the original 66 Temperance site.

I'm too lazy too explain a second time. This is what Cassius put out over at UT

Maybe some of these will help with some creative juices. NOTE: Do NOT post these anywhere else please. None are official and were only used by me to try and interpret ideas which Harry has in his mind but had a difficult time relaying. Most weren't anything close to what he was looking for anyways but maybe you guys can think up something.
