[A Torontonian Now]

I think the architectural expression would be fine if they simply made each tower one colour, and all the towers in different colours for variety.

I tend to agree that there are some aspects that might not be so bad, with a lot of simplification. The low quality renders also do it no favours.

Looks as if the architecture here was AI generated. Developers inputted their specifications (massing, height, density etc.) and this is what it spit out

These look like the modern versions of the classic Scarborough slab towers from the 60s and 70s.

With all due respect, that's insulting to Scarborough's apartment towers from the 60's and 70's. While these slab towers are generally not well-loved, some architects can learn something by studying their lines and cohesiveness. Whatever you call this proposal for 1966 Eglinton East, it's a jumbled mess.

This one was the subject of a confidential report at the June meeting of Council.

That report, which was recommendation to adopt a settlement offer, passed Council and is now public.

From the above:

@Art Tsai There should be new plans on file for this one based on the offers above.

Site Plan (this phase)

Ground Floor Plan:

@ProjectEnd will wish to make note of the elevator ratios here.

Western Tower, 47s - 491 units - 4 elevators or one elevator to every 123 units
Eastern Tower 44s - 467 units - 4 elevators or one elevator to every 117 units

@HousingNowTO will wish to make note of 34 affordable rental units here.

Cyclists who have rightly noted the 'weak' bike lane installed on Eglinton East w/the LRT will be pleased to note that the City has secured the upgrade of same here to fully separated, raised cycle track in front of this development - width 2.1M

I can't believe I'm writing this out loud about Kirkor... but I kinda like the podium and even the busy upper floors/tower crown.

I realize when built/executed this will be a material mess, but hey Kirkor... this a historic moment in pictures for me. Maybe I need to up my meds though.

i like it and i have noticed in the past few months or may be a year Kirkor has really improved. im not talking about execution of projects, only the design.
