Charles St GRT terminal redevelopment

[dtkvictim]

I'll admit I'm biased, my home is right next to it, so I like, wouldn't like an arena there, but if you dig at all, it just isn't a good fit.

NIMBY! /s

Also, since this is getting talked about here is my (still unfinished) concept for the site. I'm not an architect or anything, this is just what I think personally could (and should) be done with the site.




50 storey tower
588 homes
98 three bedrooms and the rest are large, 1 and 2 beds.

31 and 19 storey towers not yet floor planned but probably another ~450-500 homes. Shared amenities throughout podium floors.

Community centre/hub fronting Gaukel St and LRT station with gyms, community rooms, office space etc.

Retail facing Charles and part of Ontario.

Charlie West and Queens Place for reference

Speaking of NIMBYs, the typical argument I'm most sympathetic to is regarding sightlines and privacy. If I building like this goes up, I'll be choosing between moving or never seeing the sun in my home again. I just want to live in a 3-5 story neighbourhood, friends.
