I like this vision, it's a step in the right direction, but personally I would like to see a version of Yonge Street that mimicks an Amsterdam street. One where there is a bi-directional bike lane down the middle with no/limited access to cars. The bike lane would be wide enough for delivery or...

There was a fire here at the Metro today which caused water damage closing it down, potentially related to the construction?

I would assume there isn't better material available because a development proposal hasn't even been submitted to the city yet. They are still at the community consultation stage. Actually, I respect them for giving out this much material so early on.

Still to be submitted to the city, subject to change after community feedback. Very impressed with Streetcar's respect to their surroundings with this one. Minimal shadowing impact and setbacks are great here. Height is perfect (however some of the residents in last nights meeting disagreed)...

So sexy in that last pic! Imagine if Aura handled it's different floor heights with a look like this. That white line is a nice use of spandrel too!

Not sure about that... since there is a significant park going north of here, there could be shadowing impacts with too much height.

What are we waiting for?

I believe this may be part of the 880 Bay development. I know that the old Foot Care building of WCH was demolished recently. Then it has been boarded up along with small parking lot on Grosvenor. However, I believe that the one building left standing on Bay Street is still occupied. I expect...

Wow. Bazi's, you can change your reputation if you build that render and use sharp glass and materials!

That may be true in other markets, but there are not many vacancies in this area. If they are sitting vacant they are quickly turned into rental units by the owners.

For spandrel, I like the deep trump-like colour tone mixed with the black/charcoal. I'm hoping this one comes together nicely and adds a nice visual contrast to the other buildings in the neighbourhood.

Refer to post #67 Sad Toronto. Just sad.

Half of the hospital is now demolished. Doesn't look like it will be too long until the entire site is blank.

I imagine this laneway turning into something like the upscale shopping laneways of Amsterdam

Is this building making the Coroners building (on Grosvenor downtown) irrelevant? If so, any thoughts on the future use of that site?

Just snuck a peek at the meeting and it does indeed look like they are going with a single tower design with 2/3 of the site as parkland (south + north-west). Looked really nice actually. Let's hope they go tall!

Demolished!

Let's just hope we don't get this crap:
