They've recently put up new application boards, and the design appears to have changed again. Now it looks more like the original design, but instead of having a wavy strip of curtainwall it's just a straight vertical bands.


put up where?
 
Is that a joke? The wavy balconies were the only thing it had going for it...

Sure, if you want to see a gastrointestinal tract towering over Yonge and College.

I'm looking forward to the retail opportunities this will bring to the area.

...or remove from the area, depending on the lease costs and size/format of the retail units.
 
Almost assuredly (though sadly) remove. There is next to no way that Canderel will replace the 5-6 units along here. They will most likely be consolidated into 2-3 larger format stores (unfortunately).
 
…and recommended for approval by the Planning Department at 57 storeys, down three from the proposal.

I'll wait to see the new design, but this sounds ominous. Creative design features tend to get stripped out so as to not rock the boat. Does everything need to look like CASA or MLS? Good grief.

Putting a 50+s tower on a spot right beside a heritage structure 1/10th the height is rocking the boat - staggering and rearranging the balcony profiles is anything but in comparison.
