News from deranged over at UT :

"Agent called me and said this project has been delayed until September. The entire design and floor plans have been revamped per request from the city. They want the building to have a more iconic design."

oh no, well hopefully it will still be built as planned.

You mean the VUPs? The Very Unimportant People get to pay inflated prices once those with connections take a cut or skirt the rules by securing units then adding $30,000 to the price before re-selling it as 'new' to the public. The buying public are generally treated like chumps and morons that are easily exploited. It's a racket.

The design will change to an organic one like the Absolute project in Mississauga as required by the city. It will still be 75 floors.

That's good news

That's not news...

It's Cal reporting speculation but written as though it is fact.

You will get used to it eventually.

This one was rejected by the DRP, which is unbinding, but will likely result in changes. A full redesign at this point is unlikely but possible. Any references to specific architectural styles or changes at this point is complete conjecture and speculation and should be written as such.

In the coming months we will see to what extent this is changed/redesigned.

:previous: What is the DRP?

Design Review Panel??

New Renderings Released....

this is now 224m, and 65 floors.

I don't like the reduction in height, but those renderings make this look great. I really like the last one Cal posted with both the ICE towers.

I like this design better but its a shame about the hight.

What an absolute snooze of a design. If the city thinks this is iconic, I give up.

See that slight angle at the roofline? Revolutionary!! DeRP indeed.

10 York

Wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf ??


This one will start soon????

That's pretty amazing. Should start soon, maybe with a height revision upwards. 88 Scott is one that worries me. It's still only 60% sold after about 6 months.

No, I think the sales at 88 Scott are further along than that.

Maybe they can get the height back??

Construction is expected to begin in 2013 for 88 Scott.

I am really surprised that Ten York sold that well. Knowing Tridel, they don't waste any time with construction, so I am sure we can expect this one to start early 2013. They will probably go for a minor variance for an additional 5 floors as well.
