Thanks for the update. Didn't realize there was that much water in that pit.
So how long before we know if the building will be the same or they're changing it a bit?

^this is a very expensive tower. there is no way Concord is going to build that. they will either heavily value engineer it or completely redesign it to look like their other crappy projects. it can take a few months.

My guess is Concord expanding from 85 to 90 floors and that’s how they are going to make more profit. I hope they are not planning to reduce ceiling height on each floor to make room for more floors

We haven't yet seen 'The One' get its height increase; an increase here would be more challenging.
This is a building which can certainly shadow Allan Gardens.
The City really doesn't want a precedent that that is ok.
That said, nothing is immutable.

Ysl shadow reaches sidewalk of Allan garden and that was reason reducing height from 98 floors to 85 floors but now if concord wants to expand more floors, the only way it can be done by reducing ceiling height on each floor while keeping shadow at sidewalk of Allen garden.

I hope this rises in its current form. Easily one of the top proposals in the city.

You know Concord (presumed), probably saved a crap tonne of money when cutting corners on all those window walls in CityPlace (to put it politley), will hopefully throw money at this project to make it the best looking in town. Of course, I know won't be holding my breath till I see that... >.<

Absolutely cannot wait for the Spandrel Shard, the icon Toronto deserves.

It's going to drop down to one of the worst proposals in very short order, dont you worry Concord wont disappoint there.

I don't understand the hate for Concord on this forum. I don't judge Concord based on what they built two decades ago at City Place. I judge them based on what they are building now and IMO The Gloucester on Yonge is one of the the finest buildings in terms of building finishes to be built in recent times. I don't see any cost-cutting with The Gloucester Tower. https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/toronto-the-gloucester-on-yonge-147-82m-44s-concord-adex-a%E2%80%94a.19088/post-1675252

Concord did not design The Gloucester nor do they deserve any credit for it. That was all Cresford who had a way better track record. Here’s some recent examples of Concord’s work.

Concord bought Gloucester from Cresford when it was 90% complete. all the credits for the quality of Gloucester goes to Cresford, not Concord.

if you see "Canderel, Concord" as developer or "Kirkor", "Graziani + Corazza" as architects there is 99% chance that the projects is going to be shits.
