Buddy we read ur first comment. Posting it 3 times is not going to stop the developer. Is it?

Helicopter path will be blocked by this 50 story building. This has to be stopped

no it won’t. Flight path is further south.

Edit: I was wrong.

Here is a quick render I made of the area in question:

You can easily see the void created by the ~30 floor towers in the middle, with 40 - 60 floor towers rising on each side of the void, The Grand being one of these...

hmm interesting. Thanks, I was wrong.

How did this get through then? According to the flight path map, this should have a maximum of about 120 metres.

 

[UrbanAffair]

Is that 212 metres ASL then?

 

[ProjectEnd]

Above Sea Level. Diagram starts at 161m ASL.

Well it sure looks like they're trying to recoup the price of demolition (and then some)... Terrible design that reinforces the comment about this intersection being the most depressing, soul-sucking one in town.

When the building they're tearing down looks better than the one they're putting up...

The taller tower looks like the love child of Pace & Dundas Square Gardens. Well, at least it will be close to its parents.

Why wouldn't the put the tower portion further away from GRID?

The design runs in a way to skirt the approach path to St Mike‘s, just as the Massey Tower does In its own way.
