It's a great irony that the stepping adds so much more bulk to this building than if they had just done minimal stepbacks and chosen a shallower floorplate.
Yet another example of filling up the entire lot (while meeting the city's stepping requirements, *dusts hands*) instead of looking at what is actually appropriate for the site, for the street, and how to create a good residential floorplate.

To be clear, those requirements have changed since this was approved.

Those steps (the sheer number) are no longer required. Larger floor plates and fewer step backs are now the norm.

I'm aware of that. I think larger floorplates are non-ideal. But the stepping requirements were really masking the issue.

Is that field still going to become another data centre or has that been canceled now that the subway is coming?
 
I saw this yesterday morning and it is looking very red! Btw when do pdis/occupancy start?
 
I don't mind this building, I like the reddish colouring and unusual shape. It also looks as if the retail will be a decent size.
 
I have a view of this building from my apartment, and it’s been at least 2 weeks since I’ve seen any activity on this site. Has the developer run into problems?
