Let's hope we get something in the 10%..........
I guess, but i doubt these towers will be as tall as the obsevation deck of the CN Tower (338 metres-1,108.9 ft)
Anyways, how in the hell are they going to pull off this kind of height in the Entertainment District, when there is a height limit of 157 meters
I guess anything is possible......."money talks, bullshit walks". Gee, the casino will be just down the street![]()
I wouldn't mind hearing some constructive ideas that would satisfy both camps. Any takers?
I'm repeating myself quite quickly here, but since both sides have their heels dug in on the preservation vs. new construction argument, I wouldn't mind hearing some constructive ideas that would satisfy both camps. Any takers?
Gutting old buildings to build condos inside their husks is vile. Instead, use an elaborate jacking system to perch the old brick-and-beam buildings on top of the new condos, raising them up floor-by-floor atop the new construction, until they end up meticulously preserved, 80 stories in the air.
Blockbusting is exactly what this is.
But this development would, regardless if you like it or not, contribute to the condo monoculture and turn an array of different buildings into what is one essentially block-long complex.
