It is based on the plans of a synagogue that was destroyed in WWII during the Nazi occupation of Poland.

Do you know which building it takes its inspiration from?

i wish beth shalom across from eglinton west would be converted to towns or condos. the majority of the people who use the synagogue drive to it anyways so the proximity to transit has limited benefits. however it would be a great site for some development.

That is beautiful. Seems so rare to have something built in stone. Makes me want to convert.

I've passed by this project a few times over the last months, and I gotta say, it looks great in person.
