It's 80 storeys...from Real Estate BisNow, just now.... a lot of focus on the retail side of it... :cool: I guess by "billion dollar condo", they mean the total cost of the project.... Sam Mizrahi sparked big buzz when he bought Stollerys at 1 Bloor W then wasted no time demolishing the...

I think that perhaps the biggest problem that a lot of people are having is that we don't know what is proposed for the site, hence the apprehension over the demolitions... if it turns out to be something very special, perhaps all will be forgiven, if not, then Mizrahi will be properly...

Real Estate Bisnow did an article on this in their Feb 3 newsletter, seems like the developer is still pretty confident... "Pinnacle International continues to plot its massive mixed-use community on the Yonge Street site that's home to the Toronto Star building. We asked Pinnacle sales and...

Not sure if there will be Juliet balconies, but here is a pic from this weekend... these are actually looking pretty good, with the alternating shades of grey brick.. made a short blog post with a couple more photos here..

kotsy, that's a gorgeous shot of an amazing building... mdrame... we need to up our game as a city... this is just what the doctor ordered... wouldn't it would be better to be an "enraged citizen" when you see mediocre or bad architecture in town? ... kudos to Ryerson for this beautiful...

I think if we see a rendering, and it turns out to be really good, that may help to silence the KWTs of the world... right now she is already voicing objections against demolition, for something which is still an unknown entity..

They hoisted the chandelier yesterday....it is massive, the photo doesn't do it justice..... made a short blog post on it here: https://randyselzer.wordpress.com/2015/01/17/chandelier-enlivens-square-one-food-court/

629 units is a lot of units for 35 storeys... not gonna be a thin point tower...

Interesting indeed! :)

Yes, phase 2 was increased to 48 storeys...and drum, I think your request for a separate thread is a good one..... :)

That's a great article in the Globe... he must have bought several properties, as he is talking about department store size retail for the site...

So, a billion dollar project by Greybrook + Castlepoint + Cityzen... interesting indeed.... :)

It's official that Stollery's is closing... but here is one more bit from the Globe yesterday, confirming that a developer has bought the building.. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/iconic-upscale-mens-wear-store-to-close-in-toronto/article20932353/
