Like Habitat for sure in its angular, modular aspects, but quite different in its massing - less compact, more organic, with a topography resembling mountains and valleys.

Bring it on.

Love it!

The tapered set-backs recall the classic deco NYC form too. Yes, more organic and more minimalist than the Gotham iteration but the legacy is there nonetheless.
 
It's already been determined that the DRL will be under Queen street. They've been planning a queen street subway for 70 years now though..
 
Well, we could always commission a panel to undertake a deliberation on whether a panel ought to be commissioned to study the feasibility of commissioning a panel to study the feasibility of switching from Queen to Yonge. That should round it up to an even century.
 
It was a nice time in history when they just built things. Now everyone wants a piece of the infrastructure pie.

Where do you get the impression that this will be concrete? It's been suggested that light coloured stone is being considered. Concrete would be a no no, in my opinion. We have plenty of concrete buildings and (as you mentioned) they look terrible with age (think: CN Tower).

I'm hoping against stone - it's one of the most expensive cladding materials. It'd be nice if these units ended up being affordable for the common man.
 
And there are today many different types and styles of concrete that we're not available previously.....
