Wow, wow, wow! This is one of the best designs to come out in a long time. And not only are we getting a great design, we're also getting buildings treated and restored. I hope this turns out as well as it looks here.

I feel this project will be a model for the city going forward.

Truly beautiful. The rendering of Yonge St. shows restoration of buildings beyond the project site. Hopefully this is a commitment the builder can keep.

This tower looks like it will raise the bar for highrise development downtown.

Another project close to everything. This should sell well.

This is a beautiful design and a exactly what Yonge Street needs!
Hopefully this will set the standard for how to treat the rest of the historic buildings in this city.

This is great. Why couldn't Ryerson do this with the Sam The Record Man site?

The Downtown Yonge BIA has already put forward that this should be the model of development along Yonge Street. (Unfortunately it's right out of their boundaries at the moment.)
I hope that it indeed does become the model.

I love the Yonge street frontage. Notice that the "Pizzaville" and "Klick" buildings are not being recreated. In their place it appears that they will be replicating in exact detail the facades of the buildings directly to the South to create a strong street wall. I hope that this project becomes a template for future Yonge street developments.

This is absolutely brilliant. I love the respect that's been paid to the older buildings, and the very layered, multi-contextual feel of the design. Very urban.
