Would it kill them to continue the theme on the lower floors all the way up? The 1st few floors aren't bad, what's above it is the same gawd awful stuff we've seen on 50+ buildings all over the core. And for heaven's sake, enough with the setbacks. Yonge Street is going to look like a jumbled mess at the rate they're going. 1 building is flush with the lot line (where it should be), the next is 10 feet back, another is 20 feet back, another is angled back, another is 15 feet back followed by 20 feet back, etc. We're going to end up with a dog's breakfast and this is supposed to be our show piece high street???

Honest Ed's Redevelopment (Westbank, 29s, 22s, 21s, Henriquez Partners)

COOL

Development will include 1000 rental units. 50% of the units will be two, three or four bedrooms. There is a permanent street market; Retail units are smaller in size (similar in scale to typical retail units on Bloor). Three towers of 29, 22 and 21 stories.

Homes and small commercial buildings on Markham street will remain intact. Markham street will be served with a bike valet, with an underground bike service area/shop.

Redevelopment of Honest Ed’s in Toronto holds several surprises
On Tuesday night, the developer that owns the 1.8-hectare downtown Toronto site, Westbank, and its architect, Vancouver’s Gregory Henriquez, presented their plans at a public open house. While the project’s design is in flux, the plans include several surprises: 1,000 rental apartments, many of them family-sized, and no condominiums for sale; a permanent public market; and retail space largely divided into small units that mimic the scale of existing storefronts on Bloor Street.

The One (1-11 Bloor St W,/770, 774-776, 778 & 780-784 Yonge St., Mizrahi Developments, 80 storey-318m/1043 feet, Foster+Partners/Core Architects)

Developer wants 80-storey tower to replace Stollerys
TORONTO – The developer who recently tore down the nearly 114-year-old Stollerys building on the southwest corner of Yonge and Bloor wants to replace it with an 80-storey tower that he says will put Toronto on “the international map.”

The building, dubbed The One, was designed by London, England based architects Foster + Partners, which have built the Hearst Tower in New York City and The Gherkin in London.

The 80-storey building will feature eight floors of retail, 560 residential suites, and 600 underground parking spots.

colemonkee · #**2327** Posted **Mar 11, 2015, 11:02 PM**

The height is nice - and a supertall nonetheless! - but the design looks like a somewhat forced combination of designs Foster + Partners have already executed in New York, Kuala Lampur, and Dubai. Not their most inspired work, to say the least. Still, a ho-hum Foster + Partners design is better than 90% of the schlock out there.

Gresto · #**2328** Posted **Mar 12, 2015, 12:28 AM**

^Agree. It isn't all that inspired, but it's a nice box with the Hancockesque cross-hatching. The render seems a little off. It appears to be more in the 750 ft range than 1043 ft.

colemonkee · #**2329** Posted **Mar 12, 2015, 12:34 AM**

And after looking at the additional renders in the highrise proposals subforum, I really like the base. If they go with that Hancockesque treatment to the cross-braces, this could be really nice.

Gresto · #**2330** Posted **Mar 12, 2015, 2:40 AM**

These renders are better at representing the scale. I like it a lot.

The materials used will either make or break it, but I really like 1421 Yonge (minus the square towards the top, which is unnecessary). Toronto's roll continues!

I agree. There shouldnt be any setbacks until after 12 floors up.

isaidso · #**2335** Posted **Mar 18, 2015, 9:32 PM**

Toronto has far too many cold coloured buildings already (blue glass, green glass) or ones with no colour at all (clear glass). I don't mind grey but it can look dreary if it's a light grey. The colour of The One will add warmth with its reddish-brown hue. Winter lasts a long time here. I'd like to see far more buildings incorporate warm colouring into their designs.
