RE: 256 Phillip st | ?m | 21 | U/C - Markster - 01-15-2015 The first tower has now topped out! RE: 256 Phillip st | ?m | 21 | U/C - Watdot - 01-21-2015 256 Phillip St. in the distance from Laurier. RE: 256 Phillip st | ?m | 21 | U/C - BuildingScout - 01-21-2015 None of the problems in Northdale, Beechwood, Lakeshore, Old Albert would have ever happened if the city had rezoned Phillip and Lester Sts. for high raises in 1980. Instead we end up with the same situation but with 35 years of missed opportunities and years of friction with residents in between. Whatever happened back then happened, but let this be a guide to city council in the future about similar decisions.

RE: 256 Phillip st | ?m | 21 | U/C - Spokes - 03-08-2015 It's really awful. Which is a shame, because they did some things better than the standard student block. Some spandrel use, that wall of windows, the set back. RE: 256 Phillip st | ?m | 21 | U/C - The85 - 03-08-2015 Looks like it was designed by the same architect who designed that old apartment building at King and Columbia 30 years ago. Great. I thought we could have moved past that slab design by 2015. At least if precast is being used, there are better ways today to make it look somewhat decent (i.e. consolidated court house, possibly Barrel Yards)... However, on the bright side, I do like the clear glazing window on the second floor. Depending on the finished ground and second floor, it could contribute to urbanizing this section of Philip Street. RE: 256 Phillip st | ?m | 21 | U/C - rangersfan - 05-05-2015 May 1, 2015 |
