City Planning Preliminary Staff Report to be considered by North York Community Council on November 18 2008

Proposal for two tower (12 + 15s) developement adjoined by a 6s midrise slab, total 350 units and 2 levels underground parking ... the site is immediate west of the Gramercy Park development across Tippet Road, I personally find the site + buidling design very similar in nature

Nice. Not the buildings especially, but the intensification of the neighbourhood and so close to the subway. We like it. Thanks for posting.

Looks like they dumbed it down. I liked the first rendering with the slanted roofs. Oh well, better than nothing I guess.

 

[urbandreamer]

Much better looking now than those cheesy slanted roofs etc. Live/Work at base? Wouldn't that be hilarious if in 2040, the "trendy" artsy area was here, with art galleries?

 

[Archivist]

I agree that it looks better with this iteration. With a project like this, of this scope and scale and in this location, the appearance of the building is far less important that the fact the proposal exists. Whether or not the roofs slant slightly means little.

Union Square?

Union Square?

Union Square is simply the west tower (phase 2) of Gramercy Park Condominiums

glad to see some intensification coming... Does the bottom floor have retail.. I hope if it does that its large enough to actually house a decent sized store vs a convienence store.

Staff report recommending approval of:

• 12 live-work units fronting Wilson Avenue

 

[Towered]

Very encouraging. This is exactly what a street like Wilson needs along its entire length. It's such a ugly street.

This is going in on the south side of Wilson just west of both Gramercy Park Condos and Tippett Road.

I thought they were going to build office buildings next to Gramercy Park as a requirement for being allowed to build there at all?

 

[Solaris]

picard102 ... the office component associated with Gramercy Park condos are to be built to the south of that project, this site is to the west of those lands and are held in separate ownership (Malibu vs Brandy Lane)
