A new rendering is posted on the database. There are many project information changes. The total building count dropped from 2 buildings to 1 building. Total storey count changed from 36 and 34 storeys to only 34 storeys. Height changed from 130.20m & 123.70m to 125.90m. The total unit count changed from 336 & 312 units to 352 units. Finally, parking was reduced from 375 parking spaces to 60 parking spaces.

The rendering was taken from the architectural plan via the Rezoning application:

The 'box' in the middle just looks utterly peculiar, not so much for its 'design' as for the fact that that form/design doesn't occupy the entirety of those levels. It feels as though it's a growth on the rest of the project.

I also really don't get the 2 different looks on the lower podium either.

Otherwise it's just bland and forgettable.

Someone needs to have a really long talk with DIALOG.

It's just Kirkor. Whenever you see Dialog, think Kirkor.

The way they have clipped that sliver of old on at the north end of podium is essentially Buffalo Billing it onto the new body, à la Silence of the Lambs.

...goodness, I think that's one of most morbid descriptions to be had by Mr. 42 for any proposal. To be fair though, he does have a point. >.<

Yeah, I'm not happy with this one!

Oh just wonderful...because everyone wants to see more of this dreck from every corner of the city right?

And to boot looks even worse than the initial proposal, what a laughable excuse of a joke project.

Ok, gotta flag @Paclo

Here's the statistical summary:

Since this is high density, near transit, and wants its office space requirement nixed, there ought to be an affordable housing component - @HousingNowTO

The database has been updated to reflect the most recent submission.

Additional massing context:

1112 units with 8 elevators. Great work.

The 2br is larger than the 3br? Two units of 584sf but one is a 1B and the other is a 1B+D? You really can't expect much from a hack shop like Dialog, but this is just lazy:

What's the deal with parking?

Seems for the current Edison Centre there is an arrangement where they enter through the condo on Broadway?

 

[UtakataNoAnnex]

1112 units with 8 elevators. Great work.

Out of curiosity, what should the ideal ratio of elevators to units here? And in that, should there be less units or more elevators or both?
