If this proposal includes buses having access to the pier, I’m dead set against it. The east side of the slip is supposed to be a park / pedestrian area. Having vehicle access that area will ruin the vision of the park and lakeside promenade. In addition, having huge boats blocking the view...

Agreed. The renderings on Hariri Pontarini Architects website, including recent ones like the one below with the future phases shown, has glass blocking the tuned mass damper. Source: https://www.hariripontarini.com/projects/one-yonge

So that is October 30, 2024 and August 1, 2025. If so, took 9 months to do about 6 or 7 floors? Realize it is non-residential floors so a bit slower but that seems very slow. Regardless, good to see they are picking up the pace on the residential floors.

I was trying to figure out where you took these pictures as you said looking north, which would mean you were basically on the train tracks. Those pictures are looking SOUTH.

I’ve finished holding my breath. That grey cladding is very disappointing for such a high-end development. Odd choice.

Don’t know there has to be one. But if so, then sit and wait until there is an LRT as that land is one of the last pieces of prime waterfront and should be the site of a landmark and not just another condo.

There are plenty of condos on the way. That particular lot on the waterfront south/SW of the silos and near the future pedestrian bridge should be a cultural/civic/tourist landmark.

Not great but as advertised.

Cladding is better than expected vis-a-vis the renderings. That said, this development is in the heart of Yorkville and should be even better.

My favourite part was seeing Gehry rotating the model of this development. Will look amazing with the light shimmering off these buildings.

My dream scenario.

Please move this conversation to the Real Estate thread of this development here.. https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/357-king-west-great-gulf-real-estate.28195/

Wouldn't it be spectacular if the city built a plaza with steps/seating built into the hill where the photo above (Source: Flonicky) was taken from off of Broadview Avenue? Great place to watch sunsets, the skyline, and the fields below.. Something like this:

Some of the best pics I've seen of this project, and I've seen over a 1000!! Well done ProjectEnd.

Horizontal beams.

It appears in the renders that Q Tower will be set back a bit more from Harbour to allow for separate bike lane and sidewalk, as opposed to the joint bike/walk path as is the case currently. Also, the render shows how the building will curve to mimic Harbour Street's bend. Current (Source...

I am really looking forward to this development. Its black cladding will contrast nicely with the sea of blue (and aqua green) towers in that area of downtown. Plus, having a nice building at such a prominent location next to the Gardiner and facing the Simcoe off ramp will add a lot of...

The paint job on the lower east side looks good in that pic immediately above.

I am not clear what the final look will be. Is that white paint/cladding facing Wellington Street the finished product because I like it much more than the dark gray on the rest of the building.

It appears they have a bunch of paint options to choose from to cover the lower concrete section to the right of the options shown in the red box below. I hope they choose one of the lower options, which are in the red/orange colour palette. Regardless, I am glad they are painting that...
