Not a fan, one would think that since these units will be going for top dollar that the architecture could have been so much better. We never got to see more then the base of the original proposal but it looked 10x better then this. It's funny to think this is what we ended up with because Queens Park wanted to maintain it's view of nothing but sky behind it from university. We could have had 2 taller better looking towers. Oh well.
I think redeveloping the podium by incorporating a 12-15 story midrise (continuation of that lowrise design) on Yorkville avenue would be more sensible.
Maybe it's just me but purchasing a premium luxury unit in the older re-vamped tower with a view of that hideous new condo tower borders on insanity.
Agreed, that sounds more ideal. With the original building being retained and revamped, the extra tower seems like an awkward and unnecessary piece of intensification.

It's the height of absurdity that sky is the only permitted backdrop. Are these people from Iowa?

What's so absurd? It just a marketing style they've chosen to use. Is it a good one? No. Do they need to spend a lot to sell a building at that location? No. Most purchasers and realtors won't even look past the building in the image and the floor plans.

Not that, shooting down proposals that can be seen from University Avenue south of the Legislature.
