Postcard view of City Hall, with 123 Edward appearing to the upper left of the West tower:

Though I applauded City Planning for being progressive in supporting density in the City core, I'm quite surprised the proposed 59+53 storey towers are being approved with only 12.0m setback from the existing 25 storey building.

The current proposal incorporates numerous revisions from the original application as summarized below:
• Massing revised to conserve the prominence of City Hall within the protected viewshed;
• Tower heights reduced to 59 and 53-storeys from 72-storeys each;
• Separation from the proposed development to the existing 25-storey office building increased from 8.7 metres to a minimum of 12 metres; and
• Introduction of a new 140 square metre POPS at the northwest corner of the site.
