This must be one of the worst projects in the city of the past few years.
- Thread starter AlbertC
- Start date
WZMH is the architect. Camrost-Felcorp is the responsible party.This is an underwhelming project that could have been much better. The developer, WZMH, seems to have some kind of distraction keeping them from focusing and getting the job done.

Photos taken May 28, 2022:
Just looking at the streetscape here which is mostly done........though the work extending the new Avenue Road streetscape up to Yorkville Avenue is still in progress:
Looking north alongside this development:
Avenue Road here is going granite all the way, nice quality on the planter and planting.
Now looking south from just north of this development:
Finally looking south from Yorkville with work very much in progress:
Two added observations:
No more lay-by here! Yay!
and.......
Really, this is where we're doing the gas connection/meter?

Several messy components of the public space along Avenue Road, but I will say that the podium pedestrian passage way between the lobby entrance areas and links towards the neighboring building's retail corridor to the east is quite nice:

Public art statue is up:
I'm finding that one creepy. Is it supposed to look like a woman being vivisectioned by falling construction materials?

No. It's just terrible at representing what it's supposedly represents:
“Altmejd’s bronze statue, standing more than eight feet in height, fancifully updates the traditional bronze figurative monument,” the release goes on to say. “Clad in billowing, flowing robes, the sculpture’s striding female figure arrives like a deity, simultaneously gesturing downward to earth and skyward triumphantly. With arresting appeal, Almejd’s animated bronze figure conjures the history of the Yorkville neighbourhood that in the 1960s became Toronto’s epicenter of fashion, fine art, and nightlife, signalling the city’s sophistication and cultural aspirations.”

Funny, I thought it looked a woman with a legless Ostrich crashing through her
