258 Victoria has been on the proposed list since before Dec. 2009, that's when I made a drawing of it. I'm almost shocked to hear its finally moving forwards.

It saddens me to see brickwork like this demolished. Even the building itself per se isn't anything fantastic, I think old brick buildings like this have certain character.

Agree. To add salt in the wound what's replacing it is garbage.

I can't understand the hate for 300 Front that most people seem to have. Saying that it's hideous, ugly, a disaster, etc... I would agree that it isn't great, but it seems perfectly normal in the skyline. I may change my mind once I see it from up close.

Totally agree Koops. I like 300 Front St in person. To me it's actually better in person than most photographs portray it.

Some of the disappointment may stem from how this condo was marketed. They used a Louis Vuitton bag as the inspiration for the design so many were expecting an opulent building. When spandrel went up, many felt like it was a case of bait and switch.

Chaz is above ground level:

I'm interested to see how this one turns out. Page+Steele designs are generally mediocre but this one looks like it might have potential. It's got an interesting massing (referenceing the Dubois building it replaced), a limestone base and a lack of spandrel in the renderings:

Work progressing at Backstage, taken from L Tower:

This is another Page+Steele design that I think may have promise. I like the curves, the dark cladding and the symetrical grid of inset balconies:
