I guess Cresford hasn't given up on this area following their experience with MYC condo ~

This site is located on the north side of Merton, across the street from Conservatory Group's Rio2 condo and Urbancorp's Brownstones condo ... my guess is the building height will be in the ~22 storey range

Disaster? It'll probably be another aA stunner. Who cares about the insides?

 

[Solaris]

aA stunner? really?? I guess that's what you would view Cresford's copy+paste design for MYC ~

 

[urbandreamer]

Copy and paste design? Have you seen what Kirkor does?

Bringing up an ancient thread... but it looks like Cresford has moved in, making this site their new home office. I noticed yesterday night that they were no longer in Leaside, and did a quick google search to see that they were now located at 170 Merton.

I'm not going to be upset about townhouses cause they are more dense than what is currently on the site. Was it too much to ask for the Merton-facing structure to be retail or office though?

Albert....you kept the key bit to yourself! LOL

This is no longer just 170 Merton; its now 170 AND 180 Merton.

A much larger footprint.

Its being marketed with a pitch based on up to 40s in height.

From the link above:

@Paclo may wish to amend the title to capture the enlarged site.

Meanwhile, 164 Merton, where I would normally work if it weren't for the pandemic and its aftermath, is owned by the Geneva Centre for Autism. It ends up being located close to two sites being redeveloped!

Looking at the footprint of your employers site; you might suggest they talk to the neighbours about selling.

I'm not suggesting shutting down the place you work, just to be clear, just maybe moving it to the podium of one of new the new buildings nearby and gaining $$ by selling their land.

164 looks like it will be an orphan site otherwise. (not developable).
