TORONTO | Nobu Residences | 512 FT / 156 M | 45 FLOORS
Here is the applicants drawing:

Included in the proposal is the retention of the street facing facades of the heritage buildings on the lands |
It's definetly nice to see this area intensifying but the design is generic and well, as cheap as the developer could manage (is there even an actual architect involved? lol) I'm happy they're saving the old industrial buildings though and the podium seems to be the perfect scale.

I haven't heard anything on this development in months...

Proposals are weird sometimes. Sometimes we have proposals hitting the market right away, and some may hang around for years before being released to the public. This one hasn't been approved by the city yet. With the supply of condos in the Entertainment District being so saturated, a lot of projects are on the market for a year or two before construction starts. I think realistically, this may be held back and be part of the next wave of developments.

Thanx, knowing I didn't start this thread in vein. |

Each time I see this design it grows on me. It certainly is different from the 'Toronto norm'. And potentially could become a very iconic building on the skyline if done right.

My goodness, that would be horrendous if Toronto ended up with something like that Bangkok monstrosity!

I sure hope they don't actually put that huge red W on top of it. Talk about ugly! Not as bad as the elephant, but still...
|
What new with this project ?
|
Any news with this proposal? I really hope it's not approved, or atleast there's a redesign. Talk about ugly, but not as much as the India thing. Just, those boxes I swear.
|
I like it, but it's probably a long ways off anyways..
no need to worry. lol! |

This project is now known as the Nobu Hotel and Residences.....supposedly demolition will be beginning later by this year. The massing and towers haven't changed their design.
