Here's all I have been able to glean from the past few months:
1.
Artist In Residence: there was a resubmission in March that added an interesting community benefit - In partnership with a post-secondary institution (has to be
OCAD lol) The One would
annually devote
half a floor (5 residential units of accommodation) each year for an Artist in Residence Program (1 internationally-acclaimed artist and 4 top student visual artists plus
490 square metres of gallery-workshop space).
The details haven't been released but will likely involve the "artist" working with the promising students for a year, making presentation at events and schools (like OCAD of course). I suspect there would a gallery show/media event at the end of each year.
2. I read somewhere that “
shadowing”, city planning’s favourite weapon to club down proposal heights (usually involving Jesse Ketchum school when it comes to Bloor/Yorkville)… isn’t much of an issue with the 9 extra floors to be added.
3. The 9 storey height increase
didn’t make it on to the
TEYCC meeting agenda for June 29/30 when they
green-lit* about 4 dozen proposals (including big ones like Union Park) so we’ll likely have to wait until the
TEYCC meeting in January 2023 for yay or nay on the increase.
*FYI: TEYCC’s (community council) recommendations for approval tend to have a 99% city council final approval rate based on the number that were rubber-stamped recently ;-).
4.
More docs were submitted this month ironing out a bunch of different wrinkles to be resolved. The only doc of interest to me was the
lighting plan for the tower. See below.
Here's a snapshot:
a) Linear up lights on the louvres/mechanical sections.
b) linear down lights on the columns.
c) inward facing LEDs lighting the Tuned Mass Damper cladding at the top.
