Excited to see this lot go, even with the unfortunate loss of the NOW building. This corner is going to feel so much better in a few years. Now just if Metropolitian United can get rid of their lot instead of expanding it like they are trying to do now.
 
Work now well underway.

Quite a handsome looking project from the renderings, and nice to see a residential highrise without balconies. Hopefully it will be real stone used on the base. It should stand out in an area dominated by some very nondescript looking apartment blocks to the east.
 
New drawings up on Dev App site. Renderings highlight a podium design very much informed by its context and the street-wall along Church St.

Very right; I like what we see of the new detail of the podium, and those really are some good looking (dare I say Mies-esque?) fins rising above it.

The non-strictly rectilinear built form also makes for some interesting floorplans.

The densification of the east end continues. Last time I looked this was a parking lot. I ought to get out more.

Sorry, a slight blur, but you can see the row of embedded steel girders.

Kind of looks like they're transplanting the building from College and Beverly to the podium here.
