I'm hoping you'd tell me. 7-8 figures?

It was very expensive. Not every project can command 7-8 figures. And when it does you get superior materials, architecture etc.

It's easy to say the Berczy "should have looked like 36 Hazelton" but Hazelton is one of the most expensive buildings in the city.

And yet 36 Hazelton looks like garbage! Take an existing attractive building, "wreck it" and put up a bland beige dated design. Great.

A better price to design ratio building to compare the Berczy to would be The Brant Park, Parc Lofts or River City. All sold for around the same $PSF yet have much superior design/aesthetics/architecture.

That's a matter of taste. River City is awesome. Brant Park and Parc Lofts, not my thing. However, I think the Bercy will command much higher prices on the resale market.

Also, the building that was "wrecked" at 36 Hazelton was hardly attractive. I'm actually happy it went down and something else replaced it.

Nice to let people know where the original shore line of Toronto was at one time and how much of the lake got fill in..

The ground floor on Church St should have been replicated on Front. Why the switch to plenty of crappy precast on that bit?

 

[AndreaPalladio]

That's interesting. One of the new buildings in the Distillery also marks the original shorline.

The recently announced art competition for Union Station (to commemorate the Walks and Gardens Trust) is also to celebrate the old shoreline and the Heritage Plan for St Lawrence recommended that all the streets from Cherry to Yonge should have a commemoration of it.

The upper portion is looking better now with the balcony glass and the balconies underneath painted

That picture is getting closer and closer to render.

 

[Xray_Crystal_Junkie]

Should put in planters all along the setback on the fourth floor. Help hide the spandrel.

 

[Ryan_T]

One or two 15ft trees would be nice.

If the entire top section's balconies get lined with trees...wouldn't be such a bad thing.

 

[CityPlaceN1]

Anything to help cover the cladding on top is a great thing.

Something like that would be terrific for that Pizza Pizza site across the street.

At your service, sir.

Arches at ground level would be great at this corner, especially because 60 Colborne will be using one as well.
