Good guess. Over at ssp it was posted as Partisans and BDP Quadrangle.

Re-envisioning 55 Yonge – a proposal for a bold and transformative residential and office development in the downtown core of Toronto

Looks at least 250 meters tall

Ah! It's these 2 buildings! They've got nothing to do with the CC3 assembly but there are definite shadowing issues to consider vis-à-vis Berczy Park and St. James Park. I imagine 66 storeys is fine for both.

This is exciting! I'm so glad to see more residential (especially rental!) space being brought to the financial district, especially now, the path could benefit from regular foot traffic by locals over relying on outside traffic.

Anyways for those confused on the position of this development I photoshopped a better angle using the render to contextualize it. (The spire is on the wrong corner of this perspective just so you know!)

Re-envisioning 55 Yonge – a proposal for a bold and transformative residential and office development in the downtown core of Toronto

From the project website:

Our proposal is for a 66-storey residential and office tower, with:
- Retail space, as well as office and residential lobby space, at ground level
- 13 levels of new office space in the building’s podium, replacing the amount of office space
currently on site
- 2 levels of underground parking
- Residential tower portion including 482 units, including a mix of studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom units

Love it! It's giving me New-New Formalism vibes.

I'm just waiting the Mr. End to throw cold water on all of us here over this...

...but wouldn't that be amazing if that project came to fruition as presented. Wow.

Lets see what that site says:

Overall, I'm quite taken by the proposal.

My one big question mark, so far..........is the material palate.

Done properly this could be quite handsome.

Done with Plaza or Tridel level value-engineering...........

Lets hope not.

Full points for a good 'shot in the dark'

This is a very nice building, complements the area very nice and is probably one of the few pieces of modern architecture to impress me.

I wish shoring would start tomorrow

Have to await the shadow studies for confirmation, but at first blush, I don't see any issues here for either of those spaces.

bingo!

Well played.

I'm having alot of doubts about the 2 proposals by H&R. I really hope my doubts are proven wrong.
