Nice to see that those wispy bands going up the side aren't just artistic embellishments, but structural features. The podium's north face seems to have a strong mirror effect. Is that the Four Season's courtyard being reflected?

Nice looking proposals. Stating the obvious, but there's a lot of density planned and under construction for this area. Will be a very noticeable change to the skyline when driving down the DVP in a few years.

Drawing has been made for the taller tower: http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=7006
When more detailed renders are released I will update the drawing.

I really want this to be approved, it would definetly improve the skyline. And soon we'll have to look at the skyline from the east or west!:haha:

From the DRP (Design Review Panel) meeting – March 18th, 2014.

http://www1.toronto.ca/City%20Of%20T...rch%202014.pdf

37 Yorkville Avenue
Wallman Architects
Minto Group
Rezoning Application
2 towers – 55 and 69 storeys

Positives
- the small parkette
- pedestrian mews access to the firehall
- setbacks on 37 Yorkville seem to be working
- one Member did not have an issue with the
proposed density

Problems:
- Members expressed significant concern with the
height and scale of the base building
o it feels very massive from the perspective of a
pedestrian
o the street is only 11-metres wide
o the scale and height doesn’t align with
planning and urban design policy objectives
- the tower floor plates are too large (beyond the
recommended maximum)

Recommended Refinements:
- reduce the tower floor plates
- the base building height should come down to be
more in scale with the street, and representative of
well—established policy/public realm objectives
- study the disposition of the two towers, to alleviate
issues of overlook
- determine if parking requirements can be further
relaxed, to help lower the base even further

What a steaming pile of crap.

Height should not be of concern in this area.

It will be such a tragedy if this junk gets approved.

cruzin4u Jul 25, 2014 5:33 PM

Doesn't look all that bad. I do like the black/white colour variations - hopefully it'll be black curtainwall or some sort of hybrid system. This one could turn out to look nice!

New heights:

The 62-storey tower would be 215 metres or 706 feet, and the 40-storey tower would be 142.5 metres or 468 feet tall.

Oh my God. The design was fine the way it was. Why in anyone's right mind would they turn a masterpiece into

It's a shame too, I really loved the crown and the little white (structural) streamers/curtainwall.

Beedok Jul 25, 2014 9:48 PM

Considering how rarely real life mimics renders it may be for the best they've gone with a more conservative design. I suspect those metal streamer things could have been messed up pretty badly if they cut corners.

I'm still not liking the boxes.
