seems the other two towers are in a weird limbo right now: "The city initially wanted five metres from King and Clarence streets, which would have scaled back the development." "But the city ended up moving the planned BRT station to Wellington and King streets and only took one and a half...

Seems to block the view of the CN tower when viewed from the Spadina stairs & lookout near Casa Loma

yes exactly! perfect street to be pedestrianized (and I even mistakenly thought it was on first glance of the renderings). widening it for bigger sidewalks is the worse move if they want to actually have a more urban feel

is this the alley? the signage infra is looking really interesting, seems like they were serious about the micro retail renders

I see what you mean but I also think an important identity for the OSC is that it is next to a ravine and that informs a lot of its nature and outdoor programming, I'm just not sure you can get the same thing out of a downtown location, though I do think a new museum here would be wonderful.

would be nice to see some new park facing retail

where would the other building be?

hi I'm reia! currently at Queen's university (BA/MPL) twitter: @reiaposting

colour!

considering densities specifically along king st I think there's definitely an appetite for more commercial there. if nothing else, it would also serve to activate the area at least.

not sure how accurate the 2022 renders are at this point but I actually really like them

I disagree with the notion that verricle retail wouldn't work here because of online shopping, maybe not to the same extent but I do think it's valuable to explore. But I do fully agree that more "experience" type retail would be good, even cinemas, gyms, food courts, arcades, karaoke, bowling...

with the new trump announcement of 100% tariffs on foreign production I wouldn't be surprised if this project was just outright cancelled

do we know when station park e is going to start construction?
