I am amazed by this! So many tall towers on Charles St. now.

Looks better than Casa 1.

plus it also looks like it will have fritted white glass balconys in contrast to the clear glass balconys of Casa 1

Agreed! That area is going to look so different in a couple of years.

I lived on Charles St. West about ten years ago. Back around the time the Uptown Cinema was being demolished. When I go back there to visit, the area feels like a different neighbourhood with all the new development in Bloor-Yorkville. Off the top of my head, I can count 28 towers either built or U/C that weren't there when we moved out. (edit: make that 31).

I think Casa2 will end up looking much more attractive than her sister. I like the slimmer profile and actually appreciate the fact that the "hat" is still there, but with a different mechanical variation above that. I think if Casa2 maintained just the "hat" like Casa1, then the tower wouldn't look right (at least to me it wouldn't). Plus, having the balconies fritted - is also a plus. And what's with the night time renders, do people go condo shopping in the evenings?

The crown seems like an afterthought.

I really don't know what to make of the podium but E for effort as far as landscaping goes. It'll definitely beats the asphalt and sad litte flowerpot outside the Regency Yorkville.

I aint complaining!

This is gonna make some damn good filler.

I like buildings like this, simple and tall

Travis007 · #13 Posted **Apr 14, 2012, 5:20 PM**

Word is that Casa II has quickly sold out.

isaidso · #14 Posted **Apr 14, 2012, 7:38 PM**

Maybe they'll add those 5 floors back on. This was originally 62 floors and 202m.

caltrane74 · #15 Posted **Aug 13, 2012, 3:19 PM**

Hoarding is going up!!

Any word on finalised height? Would be good if this broke the 200m mark.

I think it probably will. They will apply for a minor variance and add additional floors once construction starts.

This project sold out within a week and there don't seem to be any issues with shadowing.

March 23rd by Phillip Hayward. Shoring continues on site.

What's taking so long? Caltrane announced the arrival of hoarding 8 months ago. Are the guys from U moonlighting on this?
