A zoom-in:

2 storeys less hideous. That's a plus.

To be called E 57?

42, a quick question, is the planning still able to ask for some major revisions (e.g. height, style, setback) in the site planning application? Or is it already sort of finalized?

Hey @SkyCloudJC, it appears that this LPAT decision from January clears development here. I can only assume that the drop to 57 storeys from 59 is one of the outstanding matters that is mentioned in paragraph 15, so it's probably not too big a lap to assume that the other matters have also been resolved. What we're looking at now is likely what we're getting.

What a mess. Something like 31 sherbourne would've looked much better at this location but instead we get some uninspired, glass box with alternating balcony motif. Already can't wait for it to be covered up by adjacent buildings.

It's Conservatory Group - did you honestly expect more?

Getting ready for some early site prep? Taken yesterday, Jan 19, 2020:

I don't think I've seen this lot fenced off before, although I may have not been paying much attention to it.

This lot has been fenced off for years and doesn't directly relate to the Conservatory Group project (it serves as an extension of the adjacent paid parking lot).

New Rendering updated! The renderings are taken from the architectural plan via Site Plan Approval Application.

Nooooope nope nope nope.

Definitely in the category of "I can't believe anyone thinks this is good."

Yes the podium looks a little confusing to the eye . But the tower is not that bad having dark glazed windows and black trim with that funky facade look . As seen in the photos up above.

Those four story tall structural concrete columns straddling the big wall of window wall looks brutal!!

 

[UtakataNoAnnex]

What a spandrel grey dog's breakfast...though I am probably insulting dogs by saying that. /sigh

 

[NorthshoreCity]

The design is pretty dust but not going to lie I kind of like the massing of this tower.
