Globe and Mail — "The Architourist"
‘In 2016, Slate Asset Management added three more buildings to their Yonge/St.Clair portfolio, which brought the total to eight – including each of the four buildings on each corner of the intersection – and began revitalization in earnest. The next year they announced they’d partnered with Chicago’s award-winning Studio Gang, led by Jeanne Gang, to build a tower that would not be a “typical all-glass” affair.
And when Ms. Gang unveiled One Delisle, a tapering, artichoke-like, 47-storey tower with wide balconies and a sensitive treatment of the pedestrian realm for Yonge Street and Delisle Avenue – which includes retention of a non-designated 1928 heritage façade – Toronto took notice.’
