Ooooops .... a little design oversight? Unless it's a canopy for the front door

Those columns look at little misplaced

180 Sackville will be an 11-storey building with 2 rows of 3-storey townhouses running to the west of it. There will be 78 rent geared to income units and 40 affordable rental units. The 78 RGI units are rental replacement units, while the 40 affordable units represent increased density.

Wallman Architects are the designers.

I just found something that shows that Giannone Petricone Architects are the lead consultant on this - http://www.torontohousing.ca/webfm_send/9529/1

Thanks for catching that Chester. Whoever told us it was Wallman before was wrong, and you are right, 180 Sackville is by Giannone Petricone.

What's the next phase after this?

Edit: Found it. http://www1.toronto.ca/city_of_toronto/city_planning/community_planning/files/pdf/regentpark_contextplan.pdf

Phase 3 will come next.

Well, at the same time as Phase 2 actually.

phase 2 condos are done, so Daniels understandably wants to move on to phase 3 which has more that they can sell.

Blocks 21 and 23 are supposed to be market housing

Not sure if it has been mentioned anywhere on here, but the plans for Phase 2 Block 24 RGI is up - from the Feb 13 TCHC board meeting:

Thanks AoD - interesting

That rendering looks very promising. I wonder what material they are proposing to use for the cladding, it looks like brick possibly?

 

[AlvinofDiaspar]

Brick, according to the report.
