This is pretty good. I wouldn't mind seeing more of these all over east end streets like Gerrard and Dundas East.

Underwhelming first retail tenant but maybe they'll have better luck for the other units.

This is the kind of scale we need more of on streets like Queen, although the grey is sort of drab.

I like this lighter brick colour more than the darker tones at the Oben Flats rental building at Winnifred Ave.

WDG with a quick video offering aerial views over the site and area:

Wouldn't mind seeing the rest of that block of 1-2 storey retail buildings be redeveloped to greater density like this.

Some previous discussions about the potential redevelopment and history of Toronto Street here: https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/19-25-toronto-st-potential-redevelopment-adelaide-st-e-goband-development-s.29740/

Only minor weakness is the east facing side of the darker clad part but otherwise a very nice building overall.

That was my understanding based on renderings:

This looks great. As far as U of T's building stock goes, this was pretty under recognized so it's nice to see it getting some much needed restoration.

It's neat to see how bold the yellow looks from a fair distance away.

The fire that destroyed the original heritage buildings was tragic so hopefully they can rebuild them respectfully at least.

It's a little bit not as bad depending on how the lighting hits it. But overall definitely shaping up to be a building of missed opportunity. Could have been a lot better if the balconies were more pronounced.

I can understand the need for more school spaces, but not gonna lie the new addition as it's drafted right now will ruin the historical building.

Roughly 5 months to get up to grade level is pretty quick compared to other developers/projects of similar scale. CentreCourt don't mess around.

I still don't love that the historical 8 Elm Street building gets absorbed into this. But at least the facade integration or rebuild looks somewhat tastefully done. The heritage buildings fronting Yonge get a nice clean up too. The tower also looks like an improvement over the last iteration.

It's interesting how this can look like 3 distinct buildings based on whether you're looking at it from the north, west or south.

Hello everyone, Does anyone have experience with the quality of Canderel as a developer? I am a FTHB interested in a condo in the GTA area and I was recommended 908 St. Clair West which is being build by Canderel. Seems okay as it is a mid-rise and I feel like mid-rises are better to live in...

It's shaping up to be a pretty good midrise overall, and could be a strong contender for a UT readers' poll award next year for its category IMO.

It'll be interesting to see this and 908 St Clair shape up and form a proper urban scaled pair of towers on both north corners at that intersection.
