Canadian City Proposals II

[niwell]

Yeah a brick facade over the elevator core would work in creating the illusion of a fully cantilevered building.

I have only visited in the summer months since moving away, but I actually at times want to experience a dark rainy winter day and a classic Vancouver slush fest again.

You'd be loving it right now. When those clouds get so thick and low, you need to turn on your indoor lights at 2pm.

your fault for not buying high enough.

Seen it once from a skyscraper window in Toronto. I felt religious for 0.68 seconds.

2453-2469 Bloor West

[niwell]

Nice enough proposal on Bloor but proposed to take out one of the best pubs in that part of the city (Bryden's).

[TorontoDrew]

But look they will replace that with a Juice Bar!

[Nouvellecosse]

Oh I love that Bloor proposal. Definitely my aesthetic. Well, one of them anyway lol.

Apologies for the size, not sure how to make them smaller--

Updated renders for 80 John St N in Hamilton (2 x 30 floors, 97m). There are 4 other ~100m towers proposed or under construction at this intersection

Hamilton would have been my first choice if posted without the info. Street level looks pretty good. I like the bench planters and, dare I say it, the colonade. Towers have an appealing retro look ruined completely by the copper "moar density" box.

Now for something a little different. They will be turning an abandoned 1905 power plant into a Hotel and event space just upstream from the edge of the Horseshoe Falls.

That looks quite interesting!

[Hawrylyshyn]

Odds it actually happens or ends up a dead end like many Niagara projects in the past?

[TorontoDrew]

Fingers crossed it moves forward.

This week, Niagara Parks announced it has signed a Letter of Intent with Pearle Hospitality for the redevelopment of the station, which will be a transformational $200+ million private sector investment to establish it as a world-class visitor experience for the Niagara Region. Pearle Hospitality will be both a new tenant and the company managing the site.

Included in the redevelopment plans designed by +VG Architects and The Ventin Group will be Niagara’s first and only five-star boutique hotel, a variety of restaurants, a craft brewery, a wellness and social spa, a museum and art gallery, the E.J. Lennox Theatre, event and programming space, and educational programming.

Will be nice to see this redevelopment. I remember walking by there and being so surprised to see this grand historic building sitting there apparently vacant. We don't have enough buildings like that to waste them.

[Coldrsx]

Great to see that gem getting renewed. There was a pretty cool documentary on it, its history and former operation.

[905er]

Stunning Niagara Falls development. Let's hope they actually move forward with this.. it's a gorgeous structure even in it's decay.. Imagine it fully brought back to life!
