...er, I think this the minor variance to widen floor areas to squeeze more units in (?) posted some million pages back or so. It should start going the opposite direction at some point (I hope). And not in fact building the tower upside down. >.<

Updated docs and new hi-res renderings! Wow. Here’s a sample…

Peakaboo!

Alright so KPF architects posted an updated high resolution render. It will now look like this:

Definitely adds some pizzazz!

Never seen someone spell “pizzas” like that, not against it though

though I fail to see how adding pizzas will benefit this utter monstrosity

It would smell good at least

Yeah, I think that's the gist of the as for mentioned minor variance I was going on about. It's looks a bit janky to say the least.

If that is what's happening, I actually kinda like it.

Can they legally build a structure that differs from their submission to the city?

If they submit a minor variance to the city and they agree to it, then yes.

It's more likely they are paying homage to Big Slice.

It’s indeed sloping northwards which is the opposite of what the elevations and renders showed, it was supposed to be sloping southwards. That’s a major change from the plan. Are there any elevation drawings showing this change?View attachment 730524View attachment 730527View attachment 730528View attachment 730529

I'm not sure what the dates are of the various illustrations in your post, but I went looking through UrbanToronto's archives for the last full set of architectural plans. There have been a number of updates to particular floors since then — architectural plans evolve as need be during building design, for many reasons, especially in regards to large, complicated buildings — but the last full set I have at least come from August 2023, and they include this elevation:

So, there's the answer to everyone's question re: floors 25 through 28. (You were all kidding with the "heads will roll" stuff, right? Like they'd actually make a mistake on a multi-hundred million dollar building as to which way the floors were meant to angle?!)

Anyway, renderings are the last things to get updated, if they are updated at all. It's drawings like the above that reflect what's actually in the working drawings.
