I like it a lot

That doesn't seem out-of-scale at all. I really like it.

I like the design, tho I'm slightly confused as to why the church facade was left. I go by that church every day and I'm not sure if it is considered 'historic' but the thing is f'ugly! IMO its going to drag the rest of the building down. Otherwise looks about right for that area of the city.

It does have a good scale to it. And I can see how leaving the façade of the old church breaks up the building's rhythm along Bank Street, which is a plus from a distance - makes the building less monolithic, in fact it looks like three buildings. The effect is successfully achieved if that was the goal.

Welcome to the neighborhood!

By the looks of both the renderings it looks like there will be some commercial frontage. I take it that is the builders intent. Will the church be the new flagship spot for that camera place that was mentioned a while back?

I believe the new Galaxy Camera Flagship store was to be at the corner of Bank and Florence. They took down the sign though a while ago...

Site Control (posted on the side of the church building) says 9 storeys

harls · #31 Posted **Feb 8, 2008, 10:14 PM**

cool, I'll modify the title of the thread then.

That's the sign I saw some poor dude trying to assemble by himself last week.

I love it! And it looks, judging from the renders, that it would greatly enhance that part of town!

You have no idea.

From the looks of the report, it's going to be an uphill battle.

That's freakin' retarded! There is no way that a developer should have to fight to build a building of this scale on a downtown street such as Bank Street. People in Toronto would dream of having such a building built next door to them rather than the 40-50 storey towers that are sprouting up everywhere.

Aylmer · #37 Posted **Feb 23, 2008, 9:05 PM**

40-50 storey tower, eh?

I think it's time for us to live like Toronto!

m0nkyman · #38 Posted **Feb 23, 2008, 9:22 PM**

I like it, but they do have a point about the eastern wall....

ElChancho · #39 Posted **Feb 24, 2008, 6:02 AM**

cityguy · #40 Posted **Feb 25, 2008, 3:14 AM**
