Quite funny how YSL isn't included in any of the renderings.

On heritage: summary - 372 to be completely removed; but there will be a remembrance of Club Bluenote.
74-376 will have their facades/rooflines saved/restored but be new in behind.
380 (the bank building) will be retained in whole.
Details below, from the Heritage Impact Assessment:

The landscape plan calls for 2 trees on the Yonge frontage, and more on the Walton frontage, none on Gerrard. (no room, and no room to widen the sidewalk either)
Of note, at first blush, the landscape plans assume no change in width for Yonge (in fairness, nothing is approved yet; but given the liklihood of change, it would be ridiculous not to have any new Yonge frontage be compliant with the revitalized Yonge plan.

Still no sign of the developer behind this hmm? Reminder then that this can simply be a rezoning exercise and to not believe renderings (though it is reassuring to see that the corner building is preserved).
Boy am I pleased that I no longer have to spend time in this stretch of the city. With all the construction coming over the next half decade, the pedestrian experience on Yonge will surely be miserable.

I eagerly await the grey spandrel box revision.

...I'm not sure I can get into that weird bulbous bottom.
But if they pull that off without compromising the design and materials, that building would will be most certainly something.

Great Gulf maybe? There's a name in the application form of a company who are a partner at GG's 357 - King Financial.

I wish they would get rid of that LCD screen.

This is a great looking building that actually looks like it was proposed for Bloor St. With a relatively expensive design and curtain wall, I am (pleasantly) surprised for this location. I too pray that it does not get value engineered down and we end up with another cheap investor/student residence, as is the trend in this neighbourhood.
I wish the developers luck and hope this pull it off.

I love the gold! and the curves! Creative and breaking from the regular monotony of white, grey and green. And of course the Heritage components getting preserved
Let's get it built!
