It's amazing how just 2 towers are incredible enough for visitors and skyscraper enthusiasts to make the trip from Toronto to Mississauga just to see them.
(I mean what other reason is there to visit MCC?)

[WhipperSnapper]

Not true...

The "entire block" ECP would have occupied was from College down to Hayter. Which used to go through from Yonge to Bay. The block south of Hayter to Gerrard was lowrise factories and warehouses along Hayter.

So in conclusion: They could have co-existed. I will look for an old archive picture that clearly shows this.

Yonge and College from the air circa 1950. The red Square is the approximate area ECP would have taken. Yellow is where Aura is presently being built.

You learn something new everyday. I knew it was going to come back and bite me in the ass. I never gave this vision any additional attention as it was never going to be completed. It was ridiculously huge (four plus million square feet) and totally impractical (100,000 square foot plates) for Toronto at the time.

[The_Architect]

Wow I never noticed before but when it was built, MLG was really in the middle of nowhere.

Not actually, but compared to now when it's in the middle of downtown, in that picture it looks like it was built in the middle of a suburb.

I'm still patiently waiting for that fantasy render of College Park as it would look today if it had been completed as planned. Maybe one with AURA next to it? Pretty please? College Park I & II would need to be taken down, but I don't mind.

:rolleyes:

[Traynor]

I hear ya isaidso. I am sorry it's taking so long and believe me I haven't forgotten about you. I just can't find a good enough photograph to work from. It requires a picture taken high above street level from the Northeast corner of Yonge and Carlton. If you know someone who can go down to 2 Carlton, go to the 18th floor, ask the law firm there (or whoever you find) if you can snap a few pictures from their window... Then I would have something to work with. All other angles would be practically useless to attempt to create a render.

but of course more dubai. it's a COMPLETELY different type of city when compared to a north american city like new york. it's open, new, and in the middle of the freakin desert! you basically need to have a car or a camel in that town. but i respect their ambition to build such "freakin off the hook" type of buildings. :worship::worship::worship:

Personally, I agree with you Steveve. I like the lines of the tower and then they just stop at the top. So many new buildings do this. They don't seem to culminate logically at the top with the proper architectural details.

I think the design of HG would be better served if it had been taller and some details like the ones I stole from the building next door, were added to the top.

[Dylan Leblanc]

They don't seem to culminate logically at the top with the proper architectural details.

I agree. What is nice about the post-modern buildings of the 80s and 90s is that they have the proper base, shaft and crown type of design, with the crowns offering an expression of glory. Post-modern buildings were designed to be beautiful, not simply utilitarian like many new buildings of today.

[Traynor]

Well that isn't so terrible. I thought the roof was to be flat. Good to know some architect these days has some design sense to them.

Keep in mind, I like mid-century International Modernism such as the TD building next to HG. However that design sensibility is supposed to be simple and box-like. What I hate these days are the Neo-modernist/Post-Pomo that have architectural details which suddenly stop and are not resolved properly.

[caltrane74]

Burano - not even half as good as Hotel Georgia. But at least it's taller!



Well, not yet. lol!

Still though, very good infill project, and the glass gives it a nice contrast to the concrete bunkers in the area, that have a 1970's porn vibe with all that fake sex and stuff.

[WhipperSnapper]

I enjoy the curtain wall on Hotel Georgia but I haven't changed my mind that the massing is awkward. I think it would look better if the whole sides bowed outwards and than in instead of one corner of a (hate to say it) box.

[dleung]

^^This. It would look a lot better even if they just had it so that the box part didn't protrude past the bowed-out section (facepalms), or if that corner occupied a greater percentage of each face (80/20 split instead of 60/40 on the SE side)

[SFUVancouver]

As seen from a SkyTrain leaving Nanaimo Station. It's a fair distance from downtown and offers passengers one of the most scenic vistas we have, let alone for the platform of a rapid transit station.

The whole is better than its parts. Individually they are average green glass and precast tower however, as a complex, their individuality should be commended in Canada's (forgotten) capital of twin, trips, and quads. This development needs neighbours though.

Miami's highrises are pretty crap quality too, but there's a somewhat nautical aesthetic over there, where this project would look out of place. There's no way to describe the arbitrary aesthetic of the pinnacle project other than "supersized 1990's Vancouver leftovers"

I don't know about that, while Dubai itself is dull at least their residential towers are interesting.. and have height.

[caltrane74]

Interesting and gross are subject to personal opinion and taste. And only 10% to 15% of all the towers in Dubai are even taller than 33 Bay and Success Tower.

Toronto has plenty of good looking condos, the Pinnacle towers however are pretty offensive all lumped together like that and completely dominating their surroundings. I prefer the MLS towers personally.

?? It's the exact same stuff they have been throwing up all over Vancouver for the past 20 years (Pinnacle is a Vancouver developer). They look awful in Vancouver and they look awful in Toronto... both cities deserve better.

You should re-evaluate your evaluations.

[caltrane74]

Vancouver has nice condos, with regards to the highend. But these are not highend condos... and look the same as your run of the mill standard drab, green glass condos, in Vancouver, San Deigo, or Miami.

[Coldrsx]

^yup, on prime real estate...

I feel like these will be similar to the early 90's stuff we lament on the water in 5-10yrs.

ya, except these are about 4 times as tall. and for that reson i like them better.

[Coldrsx]

Tall does not mean better.

[WhipperSnapper]

Prime real estate?!? That's a new one.

Vancouver's not even close but there isn't much, high rise wise, in Alberta that blows these towers out of the water. Actually quite depressing when you think of it.

[Coldrsx]

IMO Chocolate and even Colors are far better. Someone photoshop them at 45 floors haha.

[caltrane74]

Then for realism at 50 and 54 floors.

[LeftCoaster]

ya, except these are about 4 times as tall. and for that reson i like them better.

4 times as tall? What grade math did you flunk out of?

Anyway clearly your definition of nice and mine are not even close, so there isnt much point in even discussing this.

Clear Spirit (http://www.clearspiritliving.com/) and The Gooderham (http://www.liveatthedistillery.com/), by Cityscape and Dundee Realty (http://www.dundeerealty.com/), portend a brighter future for Toronto. They’re further proof that major stakeholders in this city – developers, architects, local communities, the city, and the buying public – finally are ‘getting it.’

Designed by architectsAlliance (http://www.architectsalliance.com/), with interiors by Chase Architecture and Ava Janikowski Architect (AJA), Clear Spirit and The Gooderham show how new buildings – done right – are essential to the existing urban fabric, even in / especially in historic districts like The Distillery. They energize the whole by injecting new life into underused and overlooked parts.

The north and east façades of the tank houses are intact and are being propped up during construction. The south and west façades will be rebuilt with original brick. The podium of Clear Spirit retains the same dimensions as the rack house it replaces. Legacy wood from all of these buildings is being reclaimed for flooring, furniture, and other interior elements in individual units, as an upgrade, and common areas. The ground floor of both bases will contain 100% retail, lobbies excluded.

never was a fan of those gooderham clear spirit condos. something about them just doesn't work for me.
are they the same complex or what? they look similar, but aren't similar, and have completely different names....

Would love to sneak out today for a personal touch to these update. Lets see if wifey is up for seeing Sourcecode this evening downtown, and i can get some pictures before and after.

Hotel Georgia advertised in the last issue of my Magazine!!

All I know is that we are crushing Vancouver View out there! - They even jacked our Shaw Penthouse Storey in their current issue.



Here is parade condo by Red Mars at www.urbantoronto.ca

right on! great picture! Vancouver is awesome, i don't know why. basically my 2nd favorite city in Canada. looks so fresh (if that makes any sense).

Regarding Parade, i'll be completely honest: I don't care about this project aside from the skybridge. wake me up when they're installing it! :haha:

Anybody know what happening at the Southcore Delta site.
Have they started excavation yet?
I haven't seen anything on this one in a while.

Up to a point. Burano isn't bad, but Shangri-La is a cut above it. What Bay really needs is for its buildings to engage at street level better. It needs better paving, foliage, etc. Basically it needs the same type of transformation that is occuring on Bloor between Church and Avenue Road. Bay is getting better, but it will take another decade before it starts to fulfill its potential as one of Toronto's great streets. I'm confident that it will happen, but it's way too early to break out the champagne; Bay's got a long way to go still.

That Sir is my new screen saver. Just beautiful.

Awesome Tower! Did I mention these guys did advertising in my Magazine that came out in British Columbia last week.

Did I also mention, that Vancouver View ripped off our article on the Shaw Tower penthouse, in their current edition from my buddy here in the office. We had to laugh our asses off.

We'll put these fools out of business soon enough.
