And on the heels of my comment this one is the subject of an Appeals Report to the next meeting of TEYCC:

https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2024/te/bgrd/backgroundfile-244091.pdf

In the above report, the City royally shreds this one on any number of levels.

Including:

@ProjectEnd can perhaps explain if Kingsett has lost its mind, since the MZO on height is appealable, the as-is proposal is pretty much D.O.A. w/o revisions.

But while that's the most serious comment the City is otherwise unimpressed with Kingsett here.

Among the City's other issues:

Also:

Loading needs revision

Servicing needs revision

And the applicant has yet to show plans for the TTC Second Exit from Dundas Station despite that being identified as a priority - Of note, The City expropriated at College Park after losing patience with GWL. Kingsett should pay attention.

Well I guess it's time to say this HPA (who I adore) design is stupid anyway... except for the nice material palette.

They can come up with a shorter building design that incorporates the signage footprint as well... along with some kind of brilliant alternative/replacement signage solution to appease the sign stakeholders/owners. I love me a cantilever but c'mon... it's a sign tower not a Gustave Eiffel.

The engineering and construction cost savings (no cantilever) alone could easily cover lost revenue from no blinking LEDs during the build.

The owners of the sign tower are probably happy with their lease arrangement and have no interest in becoming part of a larger residential construct.

Gustave Eiffel was a handsome man but, a man over a Statue like Liberty or a tower bearing his namesake.

First CMC was yesterday, no details at this point.

This one was before Council last week with a Settlement Offer which has now been adopted, and is public:

Notable haircut here (flight path issues) to 25s.

Also - the billboard tower stays, - see render #3

@Paclo

@3Dementia will wish to collect the new renders.

Weird the renderings doesn't show the 7s overbuild on the East tower.

Renderings tend to ignore things that may attract criticism and stress the beauty of the neighbourhood with transit passing the doors, parks without homeless tents and tastefully constructed clouds!

While @DSC is on point above, I expect the decision not to render the vertical expansion of the East Tower may be because of this:

They don't even know if they want it to be residential or commercial yet.

I would imagine that choice would significantly impact its appearance.

…I mean, it would likely look much better if they just killed that billboard apparatus eyesore .

Yes but how else will they get that Times Square look

Preferably, they would not. I'd like a complete and total ban on billboad ads, everywhere. They're a blight and an eyesore.

Personally I don't mind billboards and sensory overload at Dundas Square, but they should be eliminated everywhere else Sao Paulo-style.
