ooooo... me like.
|
any guesses on height/floors? I hope its 20+...would be a great addition to the skyline.
|
Shortly after Mondrian broke ground, somebody (I believe it was either Danman or O-town) mentioned that plans were for a 9 storey building.
I'm not overly disappointed...a 20+ tower at that location would look awfully awkward. |
I think 9 to 12 storeys in that area is pretty good and fits with the neighbourhood. A bunch of low-rise condos in the areas such as the Opus which is three blocks away.
|
It would be great if the building included some setbacks so that the portion directly adjacent to Bank Street would be only 3-5 stories high. I find it looks a lot nicer when the streetwall has some consistency in terms of height.
|
I read in the Certretown News that the building will be a U shape !?!?
|
Interesting, there are some really nice U shaped historic buildings in center town. 134k is really low. Anyway I'm looking at this with very very keen interest.
|
Fingers crossed - that part of Bank (and Gladstone) could really use a boost!

The price range with specs would be far more interesting. None the less, it will be a nice improvement to that neighbourhood. :tup: |
Have they released any renderings yet?
|
I walked by Bank and Gladstone on Monday and the old Mondrian shack was still empty... but it looked like someone with a ladder was putting up a frame for a sign on the Bank street side.
|
I saw that too. Maybe a rendering sometime soon??
|
There is a rendering at http://www.centralcondominiums.com/, probably by CORE Architects. It is "U" shaped so other side(s) will be different. They want to be LEED certified so it will be interesting to see if they can keep all that glass.

Thanks TMA, I'll post the hosted image to make it easier. It looks like they are not tearing down the entire church and at least the facade is incorporated into the project; I like it.

I bet Central will break ground much faster than Mondrian did. http://www.metbiblechurch.ca/i/building/week35-2.jpg http://www.metbiblechurch.ca/i/building/week35-1.jpg |
Kinda reminds me of East Market...
