I'm genuinely nostalgic about seeing this parking garage go. Now where will I park for the car show?

I don't know about nostalgic, but I'm sad to see it go because it helped block out those water club condos. Probably the two ugliest buildings in the city and they're in such a prominent spot.
I'm praying this development covers them even more. The icing on the cake will be if this development ends up being decent at all.

In a city filled with grey spandrel boxes, it’s the Water Club towers you believe to be the ugliest in the city? Really?

The previous plan for this site was infinitely more interesting than the bland Wallman tower we are most likely to get here.
 
I don't understand how a 7 storey garage blocked 37 storey towers more than a 59 storey tower will.

The two tower plan on a tall podium was infinitely worse than what is being built regardless of the architectural aesthetics.
 
Thought these might be cool memories amongst the snow.

Honestly they should have just copied 10 Wall York Street (also done by Wallman) and made a shorter version of it.

The site demands dynamism and current design delivers none of it.

Probably worst off is the base, which belongs in a mid-level suburban development with its cheap-looking cladding- not the heart of Toronto:

Do you mean 10 York Street?

Brings up a question I have, are first allowed to 'reuse' their own designs or are the rights to a design also sold off to the developer?

That is actually a question I have had about multiple developers as we have had some very nice buildings proposed and then be ve'd into Oblivion Is there a chance that these buildings could see the light a day at another site
