Is it? I had no idea. Same owners, then?

 

[Ed007Toronto]

Same owners. Cadillac Fairview. In the 80's it was planned as Simcoe II. The recession in the early 90's put that on hold until today. Might still have been called Simcoe II if RBC hadn't taken the naming rights for the building.

If it was a condo they could have called it The Sequel on Wellington.

Not perfect, but definitely one of the better cases of retrofitting existing suburban, tower in the park developments. I'm impressed!

There is also a smattering of mixed use mid-rise/10-20s projects in the agenda:

151 Front looks interesting. By looking at the rendering it seems it will have a small section overhanging over another structure, which will be held aloft by beams.

The Kingston and Birchmount building looks like it could be interesting, or terrible in its execution. Though anything like this would be a boost to that stretch between Vic Park and Birchmount, which I think has a lot of potential.

 

[jayomatic]

The 55 Mill street is pointing to the Charles St report.

40 stories sounds terrible for this location. I really hope we don't see anything this tall around this area. This area should be strickly mid rise with a max height of 20 stories. What's the point of all that planning the TWRC did.

Here's another tower-in-the-park infill condo, at Don Mills & Graydon Hall, 24s.

Many, many, many thanks for posting these.

So does this mean that if approval is given for 151 Front, the project will proceed? So we will have 4 office towers underway in the downtown core this summer?
