The preliminary massing study looks pretty lame. I think the best we can hope for is a spadrel-free zone.

Yeah, pretty sure this one will be curtianwall glass. Very high end neighborhood.

Don't put much faith in my drawing, because it's based on a crude, out of focus, black and white line drawing of one face of the building. Who knows what color the real thing will be? But it does give you an idea of the massing, the size, the height...

Nice work regardless.

Wow, that is really tall...considering as all of you mentioned about Four Seasons looking so tall at different angles...

One Bloor will hold its own well against this bad boy.

75 Floor One Bloor should hit 245 meters to 255 meters.

Sears (Willis) Tower's younger brother?

Why are they calling it 50 Bloor west? Wouldn't an even number put it on the south side of the street?

So this will be 50% taller than the Four Seasons that's right next to it.

more like 37%.

I get 32.36%

Too early to tell how this one will look based on one flat elevations drawing. But I'm glad that we're finally getting official movement on this site. Holt's and Cumberland Terrace are two of the city's most important pieces of redevelopment/intensification remaining, so let's get'er done.

So what becomes of Holt Renfrew? I guess they close.

On the diagrams page, this building is reffered to as the "Holt Renfrew" bldg....

it says in the article (or rather something that a real estate agent blurbed) that caltrane was referencing that since the tower isn't actually built on top of the current holts, the holts will remain open until completion of the base directly below the tower, move over there, then the current holts will be torn down and rebuilt into the new podium. it will mean an interesting construction process!
