three new towers up to 59 storeys in Stoney Creek (Hamilton) wedged between the QEW and Lake ontario.. 310 Frances Avenue.

What makes it even more fun is that these suckers already have zoning. They are approved - just need SPA approval. Somehow.

Maestria (198 / 185 m. - 58 / 55 storeys)

Woohoo! This one is going to be a beast. I think it has great potential providing they use decent material. I personally preferred the sleek design of the first render (plus the added height) but I will never complain about an almost sold out tower thats been basically approved at 299m. Lets build this baby!

this things going to be amazing. Toronto need more skyscrapers between Nathan Philip square and this building.

They need an architect.

No kidding. Good lord.

Thanks for the YSL video.

New king of Yonge and Dundas is coming.

GeneralLeeTPHLS · #**10430** Posted **Feb 9, 2019, 7:35 PM**

Another one? Is it a rumour...or are you referring to this YSL tower. I'd rather not see this YSL thing built....but that's just my view. I'd more care for a larger expansion of Ryerson's campus, though I suppose they're going more east now with that new proposal.

That Hamilton area development is absurd to put it in lowly terms....I don't see the demand being high enough to justify the density....or the infrastructure to build and sustain those buildings.

sorry I don't want to be disrespectful but I don't understand y people are so pessimistic when it comes to YSL.

905er · #**10432** Posted **Feb 9, 2019, 8:11 PM**

you're going to propose not 1, but three massive towers in of all places, Stoney Creek (at least put them in Hamilton)....and that's the best you can do with the design? Please start over.

The only thing that stands YSL apart from a 100 other condo developments is its height. That may be enough for many on this forum but, it's not enough for everyone. The development treats heritage in the form of existing structures and of Yonge's legacy with a sledgehammer which is not good enough for our main commercial drag that splits the city in two halves. Massey is far more intrinsic. 5 St Joseph and even One Yorkville do more to maintain the character of a cobbled commercial street than facades slapped onto a bland podium with divisible ground level retail. The other development sites have advantages this one doesn't but, there was still opportunity to do something creative and different than the lowest form of heritage preservation and the ubiquitous tower on a big block podium.

Personally, I would have prefer Yonge to maintain it's identity than to morph into a mixed residential street. Bay is that already.

Speaking of Yonge becoming mixed use residential here is YSL and the future Yonge canyon from Yonge/Dundas:

That's quite a canyon forming.

I wish that 163m tower of Chelsea project was atleast 200m+

WhipperSnapper · #**10438** Posted **Feb 10, 2019, 6:21 PM**

The last renderings for the Chelsea were depressing. It has many issues.

GeneralLeeTPHLS · #**10439** Posted **Feb 10, 2019, 6:32 PM**

I prefer Chelsea to be left alone, the hotel industry in Toronto's really not doing well with redevelopment plans like this...or the numerous other ones throughout the city. Just renovate the Chelsea IMO....it could use some repairs.
