Nothing better than a 10 story blank wall absolutely primed to be covered in spandrel 🫠
When ever you see a solid concrete wall that climbs up to a certain height ( eg 10 storeys ) . Would potentially give a niebouring developer a chance to but up against this development, creating a10 storey podium section alone. And if there's space for a tower to be built on top so be it! But in this case I don't know if there is space !

As if a heritage establishment like Zanzibar is ever leaving... we're going to be looking at that blank wall for a while I suspect!

It seems these were ready for delivery many years ago, before the downfall of Cresford. They still have the original markings, labeled ‘YSL’ — Yonge Street Living.

Full honesty this gives me a lot of hope for the quality! This means that the glass did not get value engineered by Concord!! Let's hope Cresford placed orders for all cladding! All the way to the tippy top.

...I think this keeps going with the adage that Concord is VE'ing here by not having to pay for anything extra including a redesign and new cladding.

Who is looking up when walking past the Zanzibar? :)

...my pervert common denominator would have appreciated if they named this tower after said establishment. It would also have a far better ring to it than Concord Sky or YSL if they did, IMO. <3
