so the office tower will be sail shaped? from Blogto...

"A distinctive, sail-shaped office tower with street level retail is imagined soaring over the corner of Spadina and Front"
 
Yup, sail-shaped, recalling that the lakeshore used to be across the street from here way back when. The plan is for cutouts with terraces every six floors or so up the south side of the building.

This just keeps getting better and better...can't wait to see a render for the tower....
 
First of all - wow. This is... Just wow. If only more of this occured throughout the city, I'd have less reason to complain about more salient issues.. This is truly beautiful.

So the devlopment application was submitted yesterday - wonder if it's online already? It would presumably have renderings of the sail shaped office tower...
 
Looks great and is such a refreshing change from the acres of glass boxes.

Not meaning to be a downer but does this require the closing of any streets? If it does that's great but Toronto doesn't have a good track record of turning car ways into people ways aka closing streets.

I knew purchasing at CityPlace would pay off someday! Just need to wait a few years now! It's too bad a second pedestrian bridge across the rail line wasn't part of this project. It would have made for a perfectly connected neighbourhood (King west, Wellington, CityPlace, Waterfront)

But exactly how many years though? lol Construction is to start in 2016 at the earliest (but we all know that won't happen), takes who knows how many years for it to be completed, and wait for the area to mature with the right mix of retail. So 2022?
