This is a high-profile site with a new application in the AIC for 2 45s towers............with a 10s podium. (is that streetwall?)

N/W corner of Yonge/Chaplin (Davisville)

Site size: ~0.58ha/1.45ac

I assume the podium would contain replacement office space, but we shall have to wait and see.
 
I hope the podium includes a multilevel atrium with retail and office space. Indoor space and direct subway connection is a huge benefit especially in brutal windy winters.

Too many podiums are overly simplistic with cavernous double height single story retail units that face the street.

Are they building the two towers on top of this building ? Because it's looks like this building is ten storeys! By looking at the photos up above.

The office component here is 8 storeys.
 
I thought the idea was to taper height down from Yonge and Eglinton...not have it skyrocket again around Yonge and Davisville.

Clearly you had a nap when this proposal across the street from this site came out!

The Millwood | 157.6m | 45s | Times Group | Core Architects

Have no idea if this is the correct address or if there is even a thread for it. If so move this. This is the site of the old LBCO at Davisville. There are no signs up saying what is going to take place other the LBCO one. It stated they could not renew their lease as this property was going...

Makes for a clear enough explanation of 'precedent'

Wow that one flew over my radar. Gotta love "precendents".
 
Y'all are hopeless asleep at the wheel. Doncha know we have a done deal 79 storey proposal just down the road?! 🤪

So I guess you're saying they're tearing down this building and starting over.

While that does seem likely, I can't say that for sure.

What I can say for sure, is that the office component of the existing complex is 8 storeys.

There's no hidden messages here. LOL
 
Amazing the trend in seeking density. Looks like Yonge & Davisville is trying to become the new Yonge & Egg. This proposal at N/W corner is seeking higher density than the N/W corner of Yonge & Egg. They should at least have tried to step back the podium to allow more sidewalk/pops/outdoor area, similar to RioCan's Yonge & Egg development. Wind at this intersection is already a problem. My disabled daughter walks by this everyday with a caregiver from her day program to the subway.
