Russians fleeing Putin are going to love this!

No sign of this on the public facing side of the AIC as yet.

Someone on here said that they felt that VMC was going to be larger than NYCC but after looking at the number of existing buildings plus the proposals I think that it has a ways to go.

Looks like 55-58 floors on this one... big crown too. Might reach 200 metres.

Edit... Upon closer inspection, it looks more like around 52-53 floors, so maybe 180-190 metres...

what?

IIRC VMC is still ahead with 33-35k units proposed. Yonge and Steeles is at 25k proposals right now by my count.

I should have been more clear lol! The Russian community in the GTA is centred around Bathurst and Steeles and radiates out from there. Many of the purchasers/renters in this project’s neighbourhood are from the former USSR. The map below uses 2016 data but is still useful.

When I made the comparison to VMC I was considering Yonge and Steeles as the northern end of NYCC.

I believe Yonge and Steeles is more Persian/east Asian. And eastern Europeans often aren't fond of new people moving in if you know what I mean lol.

Application for this one is into the AIC:

Attn: @Art Tsai

Architect : Dialog (ugh)

Height: 50s / 163.65M (+MPH)

The close-up on the above is worrying, spandrel city:

Tower:

Site Plan:

Ground Floor Plan:

Parking Ratio: 0.12

Elevator Ratio: 6 elevators / 620 units or 0.97 elevators per 100 units

Comments:

Ample asks, if not not approvals for similar heights in the area; unless the City upsets the apple cart big time, I see the height as likely to pass muster.

I haven't read the wind study, but that looks like a lot of sheer height w/minimal setbacks, and I'm not sure the massing makes sense to me.

Parking and elevator ratios are reasonable.
