FYI this isn't approved, it only had second reading last month.

Also we generally don't use 'Approved' for project status, until it's under construction it is proposed.

We're obviously copying Toronto's 15-17 Elm Street, but nobody mention this on the Canada general threads

well that looks cool. im a fan of it.

reminds me a bit of that original proposal in vancouver with all the red brick, curves, etc. i think thats been changed though.

seamusmcduff · #10 Posted **Jan 5, 2024, 4:50 AM**

Looks great, let's hope it looks remotely like this by the time they start building

Klazu · #11 Posted **Jan 5, 2024, 5:19 AM**

Looks cool but I have a feeling this is going to see so much value engineering when built.

Zepfancouver · #12 Posted **Jan 5, 2024, 5:44 AM**

It's an enthusiastic yes from me.

officedweller · #13 Posted **Jan 5, 2024, 6:44 AM**

May be workable.
The floorplates are squared off except for balconies with Butterfly-like precast panels.
I like them better than Oakridge's fungi balconies.

But it's just concrete prefab panels which I doubt you can value down much from those renderings.

Also kind of reminds me of Marina City in Chicago.

ah ok. that power place across the street would be a deterrent.

Most of the yard is on the far side of the lot so it's not that bad?
