The massing study and renderings show that the writing's on the wall for the loss of the Manulife Centre's south-facing view. We need a new Yonge & Bloor publicly accessible observation level or top floor restaurant.

They are going to take down a 25 storey building? What a waste environmentally speaking.

Renders looking really good me. The height and density fit perfectly into this area and it's something different.
I only wish they could be about a hundred meters taller though.

I'm truly obsessed with this. It feels like a mature, well thought-out, retro proposal that has a clear sense of identity, and looks simultaneously serious and whimsical. I'm excited at the calibre of proposals that Toronto has started getting. It feels like our City has grown up.

I really like this. It's giving me some 1960s Modernism/New Formalism vibes. The whole thing seems very well-conceived.

They will be replacing the existing rentals with the same number only or will some of the newly constructed 900 units also be rentals rather than just condos for sale?

They are required to replace the existing number of rental units (same bedroom numbers and iirc similar size in terms of sq ft).

It’s like an updated version of Peter Dickinson / Uno Pri designs.
