Not the most valuable land in T.O (Yorkville takes that title) but it's hardly chopped liver

For 200 grand i'd buy a bachelor fo sho'

Yorkville is nice, but it's way more interesting right downtown. It's denser, the buildings are more sophisticated, there are more things to do, and it's closer to the waterfront. Yorkville beats it for high end shopping, but that's about it.

Dallasbrink: no worries.

urbantoronto member zach(at)spine3d.com has posted the following hi-res renders, which were produced by his company....

Also, the Sony Centre (formerly the Hummingbird Centre), which is the theatre that this tower will wrap around, will be closing in about 2 weeks, so that prep work can begin...

I'm really excited to see this tower progressing.... it will add great dimension to the skyline.

Skybean · June 13th, 2008, 01:16 AM

Good lord. Those are absolutely stunning renders!

vancouverite/to'er · June 13th, 2008, 01:22 AM

The base on the N/W side is very sophisticated. Ties with Shangri-La IMO.

What a beautiful tower, I can't wait for this one!

On the contrary. Buildings of this calibre are long over due.

sryk · August 4th, 2008, 11:29 AM

Rutger1991 · August 4th, 2008, 01:08 PM

WOW, what a crazy design!!!!

Maximalist · August 4th, 2008, 08:26 PM

Renders, renders, renders. When do we get to see front-end loaders and other construction equipment? Every day that goes by without them makes me worry about whether this magnificent building will actually happen.

vancouverite/to'er · August 4th, 2008, 08:51 PM

I dunno either. Those geniuses working for the city convinced Baziz to dumb down 1 Bloor east.

you have to admit though: the renders are just great. if it turns out only half as nice as on the pictures, it's going to be amazing.

skyscraper100 · August 4th, 2008, 08:59 PM

nice tower ...BTW is this project proposed or u/c?

isaidso · August 5th, 2008, 05:19 AM

It's neither. It's been approved and the units sold like hot cakes. Construction is set to commence very soon.

Pardath · December 30th, 2008, 01:15 AM

I take it this project has been delayed since no updates have arrived since August??? Is there another thread for this ongoing project?
