I appreciate that the existing structure is being integrated and just made to look nicer, as it's important to reduce material waste.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh...
The look nicer part is debatable, but yeah, the reuse of the existing (base) building is laudable.

To inform the exchange of views above........a reminder about the appearance of the current building:
One of points that will likely be a little sticky here is that the tower floors appear to have ~ 916 sq m floor-plates, and in such a tight area, I'm wondering if Toronto Planning will just laugh at them looking for more than the standard 750 sq m floor-plate. That would still result in a rectangular floor-plate due to the narrowness of it... so still a little slab-like. I just will be surprised if Planning allows this.

Well I mean it is Peter St, the rest of the street is already a write off and soulessly depressing with pretty bad builds. There's nothing that can save it, so with that being said i've got no problem with this one.

Noting, for the record - that 24 of 852 units is an approx. 3% of units deal - with no details on the unit types or the years of affordability in the agreement.
Also, would be more interested / supportive if this was looking at RENTAL tenure rather than Condo in 2025.
